The danger in all this is the precedent it sets.

By definition, any type of a tax break any company takes (even a “green” credit) could eventually be seen as a “capital investment” by the federal government, which would allow them to socialize the company.

And let me be the first to point out just how effing disgusting it is that these commie m effers dare to use the term “capital investment.” Capital is something generated in the free market and invested in the free market. The “capital” they are investing is from CONFISCATED EARNINGS, confiscated from the private sector and that should be available to participants IN the private sector if it is to be invested at all.

These Statists have no gumption, no shame, no limits. They must be stopped.

Yes but this might teach the “Den of Thieves” on Wall Street and in our financial markets to take their medicine and not cry to Big Brother.

I think this will center on Ford Motors. If they refuse bailout money and seek to develop profit by actually making cars people want to buy once GM and Chrysler are reduced to green machines, the Treasury will declare them insolvent and cite the fact that Ford has federal contracts, probably defense related, and move in and take over the company. Once this happens the USA will be reduced to the level of Harold Wilson’s England. But we won’t have a Maggie Thatcher to rescue us.
