Kucinich on Bailouts

Kucinich makes a speech to congress on the reverse socialism nature of the bailouts and complains about how quickly we have given out these bailouts without any consideration for where the money should go within these companies, something that months later resulted in much of the money being used to pay absurd bonuses to company executives.
