WALZ VOTES AGAINST AUTO BAILOUT

"I voted against the auto industry bailout for the same reason I voted against the Wall Street bailout: because it doesn't do enough to protect the taxpayers who are footing the bill. Nothing in this bill will prevent the auto manufacturers and their suppliers from continuing to move jobs overseas. And we have no guarantee that spending $15 billion in taxpayers' money will actually solve the Big Three's problems. We must preserve and create jobs in America but this isn't the way to do it."
