The countdown clock for Republican Senators asking for bailouts for Toyota and Nissan begins

Remember how opposed Republican Senators were to any kind of help for the U.S. automobile industry, claiming that the carmakers' woes were due entirely to the "greed" (sic) of rank-and-file UAW members? Now that it's Toyota and Nissan -- companies with factories in the states of those same Republican Senators -- who are tanking, let's see how long it takes for these same Republicans to demand help for the factories in their own states:
Nissan Motor on Monday joined Toyota, Mazda and Mitsubishi in forecasting a loss for the current financial year, and announced it was cutting 20,000 workers in one of the most aggressive cutbacks so far by a Japanese company since the start of the global downturn.


What part of "If you don't have a job, you aren't going to buy a car" -- or a house, for that matter -- do Republicans not understand?
