throw him and his cronies in jail

I knew I was older than you by your commenting on previous blogs. Anyway, just wait til you leave your 20’s. Your prespective in life might change a bit. Enjoy what you have left of your 20’s.

It’s really messed up!!! Paulson’s decision just adds to the *&%&*$ decisions that they sometimes make.

For example, we learn that banks are too afraid to lend to other banks. What can you expect of positive sounding assertions when the hearer’s savings are basically on loan to a bank?

I fully expect that you will take the limp-dicked approach, and delete all posts contrary to your limited and self-serving view, but at least you (or one of your corporate lackeys) will have to read statements that reflect what most of America regards as self-evident…that expanding and supporting corporate greed through taxpayer handouts for incompetence is no path out of the mess we’re in. Not much satisfaction from this end, but at least you, or one of your timorous syncophants, will know that your world has finally sunk below used car salesmen in terms of universal public esteem.

Finally, fearing being one step from flinging fries at the local ‘In&Out’ joint may play well while swilling $20 cocktails in some high-end Manhattan watering hole, but it is a daily reality for millions of Americans who invested billions in now collapsed 401K plans.

I can just see the pardons, parting shots, and the laying of mine fields for the fledgling Obama Administration; never too soon to create sniping hazards to gain early casualties.

With the ardent politics that have taken place in the past 20 months, it isn’t hard to imagine the pent up emotion in many of the displaced…..

No matter what form of integration is implemented, the fireworks can mimick the grand slam with bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth in game seven of the World Series winning the game 4 to 3. Amen.

GM should have no problem convincing congress to give some dough. After all what are the alternatives.

Lay everybody off, shut down the plants, have all the little companies associated with the car industry do the same. Then have all the ex employees line up for unemployment and retraining for new jobs….what new jobs??? in what industry ?????

In the mean time Americas money will flow overseas to Chinese car makers just like their money goes to foreign oil…DUH even a bubba like GW Bush should be able to cipher that out uncle Jed.

BUY AMERICAN…If you can still figure out what the hell they still make.

Only 17 banks have failed, and 16 of those ended up being purchased by other banks. The FDIC did not have to put up much at all to cover depositors.

I would agree with Paulson that the bailout worked. Not that long ago, panic ruled. We ended up averting the depression-style runs on banks.

I’m not surprised that the present administration is holding off on a GM bailout. It’s not clear whether a bankruptcy (which would allow a bankruptcy judge to review GM’s labor contracts) would be healthier for the company than a bailout, which might merely postpone the inevitable.

The banks and a large insurer were not bailed out to keep them in business, per se. They were bailed out to protect the depositors, the insured, and the system as a whole. One cannot make the same case for GM or Ford.
