Video: Bailout money doesn’t belong to us

(By Ed Morrissey, Hot Air) - Why are you worried about bailouts, anyway? Don’t you know it’s not your money, but that it belongs to Congress? If I asked which party produced the Congressman who gave that assessment, you might be surprised...



Rep. Joe Knollenberg is a 'Republican' — from Michigan, naturally enough for the auto bailout — who believes that tax money doesn’t come from taxpayers. “It’s not your money,” he tells Neil Cavuto. It belongs to Congress, and they’ll do whatever they want with it. And what they want to do is take it from taxpayers to “prop up” failing businesses instead of forcing them to become competitive.
