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: louiswei (Nov 06, 2008 3:38 pm) Our president and "vice" invade a country based on a lie and thousands of people are killed or maimed for life. After the lie is revealed, they spin another lie. Those guys weren't even pulled over!!!

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 6:01 pm) I've got a better one. In many states, if you're a convicted felon, you can't vote. However, Ted Stevens is a convicted felon and he gets to remain a US Senator (at least until he's thrown out), though he probably couldn't vote for himself. Those Alaskans are unbelievable.

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 06, 2008 6:28 pm)  Funny-now the incompetent sore losers of the McCain campaign, who engineered one of the worst campaigns in modern history, are creating stories, attempting to blame Palin for the humiliating loss. It never ends.

We all want the same thing... America to be safe, energy independent, and our economy running on all cylinders. Employment for those that want to work, and a fair tax code. No over-regulations, but enough to keep things on track. Good health care for all of us, and a decent education for our kids. And fair trade practices, and controlled borders. Is that too much to ask? But, I'd especially love to see no speed limits on some of our interstate highways!! TM
