RE :”Hey, good news everybody. Remember that $23 billion that the US government –a.k.a. you- is never going to see back from General Motors? Well, General Motors has done so well this year- in fact, they have enjoyed record-breaking $9 billion profits- that next week they’ll be giving out $7,000 in bonus checks to 47,500 UAW workers who already make about $116,000 dollars per year in total wages and benefits (with about $58,000 of that in just wages and the rest in benefits). It’s good to be the 99%: You get a fat $7k bonus, plus $100k+ a year. Too bad GM is so broke that they can’t afford to pay the US government back the $23 billion they still owe us. Maybe the next time they make record-breaking profits? I guess some get to be more 99% than others.

The glowing MSM reports about this ‘success’ ignore this 23 B$. In fact I haven't heard either Romney or Santorum cite it yesterday when the MSM challenged them for being against the GM bailout. (Maybe it's the Michigan primary coming up). No wonder this bailout is now polling high in approval with no one making the case that TH does above.

BINGO! Like Santorum said, "You gotta take one for the team." But it's OK for Romney to give tacit approval. He's not "A Washington insider."
