Ok, so does anybody know how I, Derm81, can apply for some aid from Mr. Obama? I’d say I need about 4-5 million dollars. Can we make this happen?

I’m confused.

Part of me likes knowing that there may be an end in sight to the bailout buffet.

Another part of me is thinking, “Soooo…you’re going to wait until after the shit hits the fan to turn it off? Hunh.”

Chairman Obama wanted you to believe that without a GM bailout, 10 million people would lose their job.

Why don’t we use the logic here?

Yeah…why don’t we.

Is that why Bush gave them money in DECEMBER???????????????????????????

they felt that unless we see chaos or a disorderly situation arising where have assembly-line shutdown due to lack of ability to get parts or stuff like that, then we would relook at this sitation, but that at the present time we believe everything is working

Why don’t we do the same thing to GM/Chrysler?

Chairman Obama wanted you to believe that without a GM bailout, 10 million people would lose their job.

Why don’t we use the logic here? How do we know if it’s true that 10 million jobs will be lost? Or is that just what Chairman Obama wanted you to believe?

In the worst case that does happen, the $100B we already wasted can support 10 million people with $10k after tax income. That should give them several months’ time to find the new jobs.

OK, let’s allow GM and Chrysler to weasel out of paying them for parts already delivered, then deny them bailout money to recoup the losses. And we’ll cry foul if they refuse to sell any more parts to GM or Chrysler. Then we’ll wonder why GM and Fiat go broke again.
The whole bailout idea is looking worse and worse. Should have let the bankers piss off, then we wouldn’t have had this mess.

Where do we draw the line?
