I am against all these bailouts...

But the human factor is my weakness...

Sometimes I am tempted to be for them just because the ones really losing out are those who deserve the loss the least.

Also... they are saying no to $28b out of $700b?

Drop in the bucket....

I am really tempted to be a fan of the automaker bailout.

This is going to hit a lot of people hard.... very very hard.

Re: What A Mess!

How about instead of a corporate bail out the Government (you and I) gives to these companies, the Government gives you and I a tax credit of $5,000. for purchaseing a new car. It would immediately put Americans to work making cars, it wold fund the retirement accounts and the companies would be profitable again almost over night.
And for the housing situation, allow for a $20,000 tax credit for home purchases.
It would work and it would keep the government from holding companies and us as virtual hostages to the largess.
Spread the word!
It is so simple.

To loan money to the big three would be wise. The one big reason the Republicans won't go along is because they want to bankrupt the unions.
If people will stop listening to republican propaganda and think for themselves,things would be different.

Toyota is non union with way lower wages yet their cars are priced the same as a comparable car made by the big three. Union wages are not the cause or even part of the cause.

Toyota put their plants in right to work states to avoid paying union wages.

Texas is a state where you have the right to work for some of the lowest wages of any state. Grown men working at our refineries in Corpus for $ 8.00 Hr. What a shame yet they vote republican. Go figure!!!

So I did what you suggest. I went and figured.

Quality men of strong moral withers have decided that any Republican that promises to appoint Originalist judges figure that it might...JUST MIGHT... be a way to save another 50 million babies from the buthers knife. So, I went and figured and decided that these good 8. dollar an hour men would rather see these babies live than to work for 100 dollars an hour. Men of strong principles, morally upright, would rather see a nation go broke if given a choice, if it meant that these children could be rescued by a constructionist court.

Such quality men as your 8 dollar an hour refinery workers have decided that there are more things of lasting value than the almighty GOD OF MAMMON whom so many are so willing to worship regardless who or how many dies.

How many children have you adopted???????? When you have adopted 3 or 4 you let me know and I will see if I can get you an $8.00 hr job. Your sarcasm is duly noted as well as your intelligence. How does a family feed, cloth and shelter on what you think is a good wage?

What have you done to help stop abortion? Talk is cheep and I hear cheeping sounds when you post.
PS this thread is not about abortion.
