This is neither an investment nor a speculation. Looks like a good day to flush some green backs down the toilet.

Tie Congressional retirement accounts to GM stock and see how popular a bailout becomes.

Think of it not as an investment but what it actually is. Convoluted welfare for the UAW.

Take congressional retirement fund and pledge it against their debt. See how many votes it gets.

When your investment is devoured by benefits to the current and retired employees, you figure out is it a good investment.

Respectively, no and yes.
Let the “big three” fail and be replaced by new American auto manufacturing companies.

Let the UAW put their funds in first; all of their retiree funds.
Then we can talk about the possibility of aany taxpayer money going in.
No taxpayer funds to bail out the UAW....

>>Would Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid or Obama and his motley crew invest THEIR OWN MONEY (if they could) in the auto industry?<<
They might buy stock just before a big bailout, watch the stock go up that day, and then quickly sell it. Only the insiders will make money.

The 25 Billion bailout is no different than a a doctor trying to cure a cancer with expensive pain killers....a disgrace... What it has come to is that our Washington politicons have in effect become the neo-snake oil salesmen of the old west.These shrewed hucksters have improvised their pitch and replaced the cure-all snake oil treatment with cure-all tax dollars.....our hard earned money. Keep the faith! Albert S
