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) |

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.

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

Replying to: tagman (Nov 06, 2008 6:59 pm) Apparently, yes, if modern US history can be used as a guide. We have failed miserably on all of the above from our security being asleep on 9/11; innovative inertia after the 1973-74 energy crisis; over-regulation becoming even more over-regulated; spending billions on a criminal war, while we seem to have no money to assist those unfortunate folks at home who need expensive medicines, and must often choose between purchasing them or food; (no bail out for them!!); an urban public education system that has been an embarrassment for years and a tax system that is so complicated, 10 accountants can do your taxes and each of them will come up with a different amount that you owe or should be refunded. So much needs to be done, and yet nothing happens. Pardon me for being skeptical when I hear a candidate preaching "change." I wasn't exactly born that way. |

Replying to: anthonyp (Nov 06, 2008 7:31 pm) I know the 328i will give me about 23 mpg on premium fuel; the Rabbit gives me 24-25 on regular. I finally got the driver's seat to my liking and immediately put the settings in both memories. Even the so-called investing greats can't time the market. Warren Buffet bought GS at $115 last month. GS is now priced around 34 bucks below that. This market is making almost everybody a bit more humble.
