“If they can show by March 31 a plausible way to go forward, then we would consider giving more money, again, under equally stringent conditions.”

Under equally stringent conditions? What conditions are those? Don’t blow it all on booze, drugs, and women? Oh, wait, that really isn’t a condition for getting the money.

The U.S. government is nothing more than a well-organized extortion scam, backed up by men in suits with badges, sidearms, and a tax court.

I’d be royally pissed if I was one of Barney’s constituents. This man has no moral center. He’s taking from those that run businesses well and giving to the incompetents.

Unless you diectly represent the auto workers that will be impacted by layoffs, I don’t see how you can make a cohesive argument for a bailout of companies that refused to bail themselves out of this mess.

Esp, when it’s the taxpayers you supposedly represent that will foot the bill.

Barney Frank knows a lot about helping prostitutes sort out their business plans…

but helping the auto industry? not so much.
