56. WTF is this about "way after"?

The auto bail out happend in 2009 and the campaign was a couple years later. That bailout saved 1,000,000 jobs and not just there but for all the folks working in the parts companies that are in surrounding states like Ohio. The problems with Detroit have been going on since the '70s. And if the President can't even get Congress to pass a budget, let alone any type of additional stimulus, what makes you think they will pump cash into a city?
