    Goddamnit,

    but this stuff infuriates me: I'm with Barney Frank on this one: No one asked the rank-and-file employees of Citigroup or AIG or Morgan-Stanley to cut their salaries in exchange for government handouts. Assembly-line workers at GM and Chrysler, on the other hand, must tighten their belts.

    I'm with Frank, Andrew Leonard and walter_map on this.
