Barney Frank: Bias against blue-collar aid?

In a hearing on a bailout for the auto industry before the House Financial Services Committee, Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) points out a distinction between reaction to proposed aid for white-collar jobs and proposed aid for blue-collar jobs. When the AIG and financial-industry bailouts were being debated, there was no discussion of the salaries for the employees, yet in the current debate there has been significant discussion of salaries of auto workers. Frank says people seem to be more willing to accept aid to the white-collar industry than to the blue-collar industry. (0:43)
