I love how they say "The Taxpayers" own X amount of % of the loan institutions we just bailed out and that we stand to make money!!!! How the "F" are we gonna make money??? Where are we gonna benefit from this financially!!!!!???? Its just the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer and if any of you think we should keep bailing these companies out man are you stupid!!!
If we bail out the car makers might we see a better deal on cars because "WE" (ya right) own a % of them because we bailed them out???!!! Can we go to a swanky resort in Arizona too???!!!

Oops, I already get the Friends and Family.
Just got a new mule on the horse farm.

The pensions are federally guaranteed - but the pensioners will only get about a third of what they would have gotten.
GM directly employs about 250,000 people. It used to be 1 out of 6 jobs was tied to the auto industry nationwide - but not so anymore. I think CNN's numbers are alarmist - I don't think 1 out of 10 people will lose their jobs nationwide as a result of the auto industry collaspe, but I think it would certainly be several million to ten million. As bad as the 260,000 job losses we had last month - it would be much, much worse. Major reverberations across the economy. Million plus job loss figures month after month won't go over to well on Wall St.
Interesting that the collaspe of GM only got about 2 1/2 minutes on the national news - imagine how big a story that would have been even a couple of years ago?
Jeez ,i still haven't read what the criteria is as to what institutions will get it, why, how much, and what they must be do with it.
Anybody know?

there's to much bait and switch going on....these days...
a law gets passed then it gets transformed again
( California gay marriage is a perfect example )
everything seems to have flip flop built right into it
all of W's work is going to be reversed by Obama
which is probably a great idea, but it's difficult to make progress
if there's no consistency in anything.
The kicker is that when all these homeless unemployed folks stop making credit card payments. Unsecured debt beyond gozillions. Won't be any bail out for that sinking ship.
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
