The senators who yesterday blocked the $14 billion bridge loan to the auto industry out of ideological hatred for unions and workers who make a middle-class living did so knowing that if the American auto industry collapsed, between 3 million and 5 million jobs would be killed.
Think Progress documents the extent to which these Republicans are willing to go to fulfill their visceral hatred for America’s middle class and unions. A memo sent among Senate Republican staffers on the auto loan negotiations called for Republicans to “stand firm and take their first shot against organized labor.”
