Rick Santorum was wrong. The steel industry has gotten a bailout.
Today on “Meet the Press,” Rick Santorum got into a heated exchange with David Gregory, the show’s moderator, about Santorum’s campaign statements over the last few days in Michigan that he would never have supported an auto industry bailout. Below is an excerpt from the February 16, 2012 Detroit Free Press dealing with the issue:
“Making his Michigan campaign debut at the home of the auto industry, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said today he would not have supported the government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler.
Santorum said it was good news the two companies have rebounded. But, he said, government intervention, whether to save Wall Street banks or auto companies, is a mistake because it creates an environment in which companies operate with the expectation they won’t have to pay for bad decisions.
[…]
Santorum took a shot at rival Mitt Romney, who also opposed the auto bailouts but not, Santorum said, aid to big banks. ‘I was consistent,’ said Santorum. ‘I think the government should not have bailed out either one.’”
When questioned further by Gregory about his support for the steel industry, Santorum said that the steel industry has never gotten a bailout. He even went so far as to say that he was around in the 1970s and 1980s, so he knows. Well, he doesn’t know. Below are two headlines from October 1, 1980:
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “Steel executive cautious on Carter’s aid proposal”
- Pittsburgh Press: “Carter’s Aid Plan Pleases Big Steel”
These headlines are personal to me because I was inside the White House on September 30, 1980 meeting with President Carter. Steel industry executives were the group coming in behind our group, and we crossed paths with them on the south lawn of the White House as we were leaving. I remember distinctly that they got out of their limousines smoking big cigars and making a display of their arrival. It annoyed me because the next day I was scheduled to discuss the steel industry with my business strategy classes. To read the entire editorial, click here.

Jeremiah 48: 1-4
Concerning Moab. Thus says Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, “Woe to Nebo, for it has been destroyed; Kiriathaim has been put to shame, it has been captured; the lofty stronghold has been put to shame and shattered. There is praise for Moab no longer; in Heshbon they have devised calamity against her: ‘Come and let us cut her off from being a nation!’ You too, Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will follow after you. The sound of an outcry from Horonaim, ‘Devastation and great destruction!’ Moab is broken, her little ones have sounded out a cry of distress.”

- “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yahweh.” (Jeremiah 16: 21)
- “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘Yahweh our righteousness.’” (Jeremiah 23: 5-6)

Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide. It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided. They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make. As they say, forewarned is forearmed. Click here to order the eBook. Click here to order the paperback.
