SHENZHEN, China - When Chong Yik Toy Co. went bankrupt, the bosses fled without meeting their payroll and angry workers took to the streets in protest. Less than 72 hours later, the local government came to the rescue.

Armed with bags full of cash totaling half a million dollars, accountants began distributing the money so the 900 former employees would have something to get by on. The Chinese officials who made the emergency payments on Oct. 21 called it an "advance," part of a "back-pay insurance fund."

But the reality was obvious to everyone: It was a government bailout.


Your point?

China's government provides emergency unemployment relief totalling $500,000 to the working families of a city left destitute and Bushco hands over $300,000,000,000 to billionaires no questions or strings attached?

$500,000 would only buy you a photo op if contributed to Bush's 2004 campaign.
