GM/Chrysler Merger

[sYc]

I will take the banishment.


I was not trying to be political, just making reference to how everything is about party lines first, what is best for the US second. Regardless of politcal party. Our leaders better put the interests of the US first or things may get even worse.


On another note, I would hate to be the one with the deciding vote whether to bail out the automakers or not. On one hand, I think management has done a piss poor job, and should be held accountable, not rewarded, but on the other hand, no bailout could mean a very harsh winter for many, many hard working Americans. I dunno...

I am under the impression that GM is asking for a LOAN, not a bailout. Huge difference there. A loan will be repaid.

Its a bailout, they are bleeding money at an alarming rate, without the " loan-bailout " they will go under. Just another thing the goverment will take a stake in.

It's our fault!! We wanted cheap goods. Between Jap cars,Walmart & China Products. We put ourselves where were at!! "GOD HELP US" So far I can still say God help us,that too will CHANGE.

So, maybe the US gov't should buy Honda & Toyota and give them to the big 3. They'd probably screw that up too

Oh man, we go from politics to religion. Brother Howie, I believe there will always be a place for you in the choir, to sing the praises of your choice, but ya still can't smoke in the bar. Damn Commies. Don't let em floridate your water.

Rick Wagonner, CEO of GM, said just 3 months or so ago that they were "in good shape" are you kidding me.? GM has NOT been in good shape for a long time. If the bailout lets them continue to operate as usual, $$ out the window in my eyes. I think you need to clean house on GM (Ford for that matter as well) management, to give the taxpayer some gratification that things are going to change there, it needs radical shakeup as it is a failed model on a lot of fronts.

[/ QUOTE ]I agree with you Ken but Capitalism at its best would only see about 50% employment in this country right now if they let everything just level out. With NAFTA, CAFTA, Wall Street, big oil and the sweat shops where most of our goods come from is helping to push us into Socialism. One world govt. and the 2000-3000 rich, powerful guys on the top of everything in the world, pulling the strings are loving it. Capitalism as we know it is But don't worry, China and Saudi Arabia are paying our bills. Thats why our soldiers are always over in the middle east....we owe them! Pretty soon our whole country is going to say "Welcome to WalMart." JMO
