 A:    This  is  Action  5  News  reporter  Sarah  O’Connell
        reporting  live  from  Washington,   D.   C.  where  a
        protest has broken out. Thousands of angry citi-
       zens are protesting against the proposed bailout
       of the auto¹ manufacturing industry! Sir, sir, Sarah
       O’Connell, Action 5 news.  Can you tell us what’s
        happening?

 B:    Yeah,  yeah,  we’re  here  because  we  feel  this  is
       an  injustice²!  The  financial  irresponsibility  of  big
        business  has  to  stop! We’re  there  to  show  the
       government that we don’t like the way that they’re
       spending our tax dollars!

 A:    Sir but what exactly is making everyone so angry?

 B:     It’s  an  absolute  outrage,  Sarah,  the  US  govern-
        ment wants to give 25 billion dollars of taxpayers’
        money to the auto industry. These are companies
       that have been mismanaged and are now nearly
        bankrupt.
 A:    I see.   But, many supporters of the bailout argue
       that it could help save the jobs of millions of hard-
       working Americans.

 B:    That maybe true, and I for one don’t want to see
       anyone  lose  their  job,  but  how  can  these  CEOs
       ask for a bailout when they’re making millions of
       dollars? And  then,  they  have  the  nerve  to  fly  to
       Washington in  private  jets! This  costs  hundreds
       of  thousands  of  dollars!  And  they’re  asking  for
       money! That is just not right!

 A:    Good point. This is Sarah O’Connell reporting live
       from Washington D. C., back to you, Tom.
