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.
To: DiogenesLaertius
Sadly, it looks like we’re turning into an entire nation of welfare bums now.

Yep.
In fact, come late January 2009 I’m going to quit my job, stop being a productive citizen, and go “on the dole”.
It’ll be SWEEEEEEEET!

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.

My wife bought a brand new 2008 Chevy Aveo 3 months ago. I'm taking it back to the dealer today because the heater core went. After 3 fickin months!!
My daughter bought 2007 Chevy Equinox. Within a year the CV joints went,front brake rotors warped and the fuel pump (inside the gas tank) had to be replaced.
What utter junk GM is now producing. After buying Chevys for 20 years I will never buy another! I'm going Toyota next time.
So why bail out GM so they can produce more shoddy cars? It's all about keeping the Union fat and happy.

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....
To: Candybar
First clue if the bamks won’t loan them the money it’s a bad deal for everybody.

>>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.

I bet you were one of the people who didn’t believe what others were saying about how bad Chevys were compared to the imports, right?
