Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 2:42 pm) Cheney and Bush cared about one thing and one thing only: OIL In this particular case the Germanium Man and the Titanium Man are no longer in disagreement.  Millions and millions have gotten killed in Congo by war criminals . There is massive genoicide going on in Sudan. Many African countries do have serial killing leaders who have been in power for years. Would Pres. George W spend over a trillion of dollars to militarily solve just one of these African problems. I dont think so. When did Saddam Hussein kill and gas most of his Kurd victims? During the early 1980s when Saddam shook hands with his ally Mr.Rumsfeld himself. I promise everyone this is my very last political post because this discussion can get even hotter than those Lexus vs. BMW discussions.

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 2:42 pm) Sounds like a criminal case to me, but that would require guts. I'm not holding my breath. You won't get any argument from me on that, I was merely filling in for the unfinished "story".

Replying to: laurasdada (Nov 05, 2008 8:23 pm) Hahaha. I do worry that as Hpowders suggested, Obama's first year will be little more than BAILOUT FEST '09!! Risky investments getting you down? Credit default swaps killing your bottom line? Bad credit? No credit? No problem! Just call 1-800-FED-CASH, and we (read: the taxpayers) will solve all your problems! Take as many risks as you want! Why not go to a spa? Buy as many banks as you can, because in order to qualify, you must be too big to fail. I hope things don't turn out that way. |

Replying to: circlew (Nov 06, 2008 4:42 am) Unfortunately the money won't be going to "re-tooling" and "development of fuel efficient cars" either. It will go towards keeping Cerberus/Chrysler as well as GM and Ford solvent. Let me get this straight, the ego maniacal geniuses at Cerberus thought they could buy a perennially troubled automaker in the toughest market in the world, turn it around after Daimler had just finished blowing it up, and make a huge profit within a matter of years. Their investment failed (big surprise), and now I get to pay for their monumentally bad decisions. Great. How about the millions of dollars that Nardelli and Press are making to run Chrysler into the ground? Why not tax them, I don't know, 100%, as part of the auto bailout? Same goes for slick Rick, his golden parachute should go straight back into GM's bank account.

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 06, 2008 4:21 pm) Now, the slicksters will no doubt get Obama to back a bailout. Here is the simplified OW Approach: Instead, why don't we(the Taxpayers) just divy up the $50B to each of the UAW members to buy out their severance? Fast way to downsize, help them get new work/fund training and force needed change extremely fast...at least we will know where the money goes instead of bleeding each day through a juggernaut of inefficient, mismanaged operations. Let's see, I calculate the $50B would buy out 500,000 staff at $100K each. Small detail would need to be included: All Executive Management are FIRED! Instant downsizing! See? it can be easy if you want it to be! Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie! Regards, OW New C.E.O. of GMFACE (General Manufacturer of Fine American Cars of Excellence) |

Replying to: dewey (Nov 06, 2008 3:11 pm) When Germanium blends with Titanium in a 1:3 ratio at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour and 47 minutes, one produces the precious alloy known as catharsisium.
