As time continues to tick GM and Chrysler are running out of money, and are gettting dangerously close to going bankrupt. Is there any hope that they will not go into bankruptcy without these loans, since it appears that our AMERICAN senate and AMERICAN President does not care about the millions of people who work and live in AMERICA??
What about the American ceos who made those horrible business decisions and are at fault for their American company being in the position they are in now?
Would you want the president to hand money to every local business owner simply because they're in America and employ American citizens?
Werll it is a charge lead by the democrats in cogress on all baulouts so far. Nothing gets voted on without the democratic leadership bring it to the floor. On the bailout for wall street they brought it not once but twice to teh senate floor and in between gave poork>bribes to senators to get their vote changed.Obama voted for all measures when it was not known that the big 3 would lineup to get theirs. In the ned all this has to be paid for with interest as its borrowed money. That means higher taxes or less spending on programs. Remember when they use to say the deficit was a disaster waiting tio happen/ Now they are talking about borrowing 800 million more and all teh local politicans are making theree wish list;like a giant pork auction that the txa payers will have to pay one days soon.
While I am mocking the present value system, I guess you kind of know it what is really going on, right?
A lifetime ago, I was from up your way. Now I am close to what may considered the Heart of Evil (Dallas), when you consider who/what is moving here, next month. Overall, I think you have brighter prospects.
Look, Dexter, while we have all watched the scum give up Trillions to the banks and the rest of the top end -- but it is going to be the dirty end of the ***** stick for you. The top end has loaded the lifeboats and planning their departure.
Not saying that is in anyway right. It clearly is not.
But we have seen this before as a nationally and worldwide observed learning example -- New Orleans after Katrina. Now, in this real world life lesson, you all are about to be in the role of the folks left at the Superdome -- Domers is what I think they called them.
In that whole lesson, I followed a couple of folks I could really respect. One guy -- a kid, actually -- he was a teenager -- Figured out that Help Was Not on the Way, and he stole a bus, loaded up it with everyone he could and drove out through the barricades and made it to Houston.

Be that kid, Dexter.
Sorry, but what are you suggesting, that I steal a bus, load it with people, and drive it out of Michigan?
It has not gotten that bad yet, but your post is pretty funny!!
I was reading that the Big Three employee about 250,000 and not millions.
I realize the suppliers are probably counted in there too but many suppliers have already gone out of business, declared bankruptcy or have cut back big time because no one is buying vehicles and haven't for months.
I haven't seen any breakdown of these "millions" employeed by the Big Three.
