This is from the tax money Bush threw around from the original bailout of the financial system. So it's not an added amount.


A bailout, and a bailout amount, that Pelosi and Reid supported and which was intended to be used for banks and investment firms.

If Pelosi had actually believed that amount of money was necessary to bail out those entities then how can she now justify diverting any of it to the automakers? Conversely, if she didn't think that much money was necessary for the banks then why did she push for that large amount?
