    The CEO's of the Big Three were back on Capitol Hill today, testifying before the House Finance Committee. General Motors CEO Rick Waggoner testified that the rescue package would help them get through next year. Republican Congresswoman Candace Miller of Michigan, who credited the domestic auto industry with creating the America's middle class, insisted that Detroit was asking for a loan, rather than a bailout. Jim Puzzanghera is a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times.
