Only friends get the money...Did anyone notice that the automakers were given a chillyreception with regard to their request for financial aid from the government???One arrogant dude, (Democrat Brad Sherman from California), grilled thecarmakers for having the audacity to fly their private jets to Washington DC...And what are these guys guilty of? Begging for $25, now $34 billion dollars?
Normally, I would be a little indignant about propping upsome lame business type who miss-managed his business and now is begging for a bailout.However, it appears to me that these guys are only in trouble BECAUSE THEBANKSTERS are unwilling to loan money to people who want to buy cars. I "hear"car sales are down by 40%. I amnot sure how many businesses can survive a loss of 40% of sales, let alone theautomakers, who haven't impressed me for years.
However, what really pisses me off is that our worthlessgovernment leadership is grilling the automakers, and yet, the banksters arerunning off with trillions of dollars. Trillions. Fannie Mae, AIG, Freddie Mac,blah, blah, blah. The latest number I have heard is now the mortgage/derivativefiasco is now $8.5 trillion dollars,... let me repeat that $8.5 trillion.
Figuring 306 million people in the US, that is roughly$28,000 of new, additional debt for every man, women and child in the UnitedStates. Wikipedia has the total number of laborers in the US at 154,000.Therefore the new debt per worker in the US has just increased by $55,000 inthe last few months.
Did these banksters say thank you? Do you know what theyspent the money on??? Do you have any faith in the banksters or our electedgovernment? Now our congressmen grill the automakers for a paltry $34 billion,that is $221 of additional debt for every worker, and it seems every Republicanis blaming the unions for everything, as usual.
Where are thesesame worthless congressmen doing to ensure that the $55,000 of additional debtfor every worker doesn't become $100,000, $300,000 or even a milliondollars????? Just how stupid are they? How stupid are you?
I guess my point of writing this little piece is just tovent my emotions. I don't like getting screwed for $55,000. It just doesn'tstrike me that most people even realize how badly our government is screwingthem. Who is dumber, the corrupt politicians, or the compliant complacent SHEEP who take comfort hiding in the flock, begging ignorance? And now it sounds like Obama is going tofollow in Bush's footsteps and spend, spend, spend. Wonderful!
Have any of you brainy types ever heard of the Wiemar Mark?
Hello? Is anyone listening?
