No welfare Cadillacs

Back in the day, the Republican bugaboo was the welfare mother driving a Cadillac.  Now it is Cadillac that wants welfare, and the Republicans, bless their hearts, are being consistent.  No welfare for Cadillac.  But let's be honest.  In  opposing a bailout for the Detroit automakers, the Republicans get to stick to their principles and stick it to a huge bunch of unionized workers.  Similarly, the Democrats wouldn't favor a bailout of GM, Chrysler, and (maybe) Ford, unless so many Democratic voters would benefit.
