  1. She's going to let Barney Frank write the legislation? The same guy that helped with the housing mess?
    I heard Barney Frank has a man date in congress, shoot, don't they all?

  4. You have no idea what you are talking about. GM generates $50-$60 BILLION in tax revenue to the federal government, not too mention the fact that they employ 3 MILLION people in this country.

    And you claim that this is merely a partisanship ploy by Pelosi?

    Get real.

  5. American Express is transforming itself into a bank holding company so it can get a piece of the bailout pie:

    The question is, after our bankrupt country, which is over $10 trillion in debt, finishes bailing out all of the financial institutions, auto makers, etc., who is going to bail out the USA?:confused:

    377OHMS

    What vital role does American Express play that justifies a bailout?

    A useless company that should be allowed to die.

    WRONG! Perhaps YOU have no idea what you are talking about!

    Fact: GM: General Motors Corporation:
    Full Time Employees: 263,000

    Fact: Income Tax Expense 37,162,000 (2,785,000) (5,878,000 (in thousands) for tax year 2007, 2006, 2005

  9. Please tell the Toyota employee making cars in AMERICA why his/her gov't should take money from him/her and give it to a poorly managed competitor...so that the competitor can take business from the company providing their salary!

    May YOUR competitors be so richly blessed with taking YOUR money and trading against you ;-)

    Assume 2 mil auto jobs.

    50B + 25B divided 2 mil = $37500 per job.

    Let it go man...
