so the average Joe, who makes about 30 dollars an hour in salary and bennies gets to pay higher taxes in order to subsidize folks making 80 dollars an hour in salary and bennies.

I'm all for a loan,
I viscerally oppose a bailout.

Period.

Just like the last bailout, a group of dems got together and said they had an agreement. It turned out they did not, it was just a bunch of dems foaming at the mouth.

I think this is another case of some dems and rinos trying to get in the limelight. I doubt they as of yet have enough votes in the senate and more importantly, enough votes in the White House.

I guess this reminds me of Twain's observation that no man's wallet is safe while the legislature is in session.

Some sort of agreement has been reached. GM is back to over $3.20.

This is just a loan that will never be repaid.

According to my scotttrade ticker, it has fallen 130 points on the news. So far.

Sounds familiar... and exactly what many of us have been saying would happen all along... they would pretend that no deal could be made, lots of prostration over the plight of those being bailed out, then bing...there is an agreement.

The UAW has been in overdrive, as has GM and their customer email list...

I have a question, why couldn’t the government buy some/all of the cars and trucks the Big 3 currently have in inventory at cost, and I mean demonstrated cost, then turn around and sell the inventory via Federal auctions? Detroit would turn dead inventory into badly needed cash, millions of new cars would be sold and the taxpayers would recoup most of their investment. At least this way taxpayers will get something back because I heard on tv the Big 3 will actually need up to $400 billion to survive.

“Auto Loan Agreement Reached?”

Sort of...they have agreed to a list of earmarks to include.

So, another superb plan from the Congress. Gee. I’m all excited!

This will fix things.

I must make a note to get some tranquilizers on the way home.
