    He did, I read it on his blog today. He has a point, but his logic doesn't help anything. The working stiffs he supposedly stands for through his films are the ones who are gonna get screwed, not the rich guys. If not for the OTHER bailout for the car companies, which cannot build cars without credit, much of his beloved Michigan would be a ghost town in a matter of weeks.

    I think this is the best summation of the situation I've read, courtesy of a commenter on another blog...
    this whole bailout thing is just telling america, "hey, rich and powerful corrupt people run america, I know you don't like to save them, but too bad! you have to or your children will starve"

    And that's just today. It might go down that much again tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that until there's a solid solution.
    So far that is not happening.

    Got to tell I never thought I would agree with this blowhard but read this.
