Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

Remember that auto bailout that Mitt Romney was so opposed to? Well it turns out that while he may have wanted to let Detroit go bankrupt, as long as the auto industry was going to be rescued the Romneys apparently couldn't resist getting in on a piece of the action. In fact Mitt and Ann made millions from the bailout that he originally condemned. Greg Palast explains how.

All best,
Peter Rothberg, The Nation
