That money has condidtions attached to it. It is supposed to be used only for re-tooling to make the cars “greener”. None of it goes for legacy issues such as health care costs etc.

Jorge pedals on down the road, once again proving to the world how stupid he is.

I’d take fifty thousand. Why can’t they just give every family fifty thousand to buy a car?

[metmom]

Is there ANY giveaway plan he doesn’t support?? Good Lord!

Sure there is. Just let the unwashed who pay taxes ask for it back.

If I act financially irresponsible, will they give me money, too?

I don't think so.

[concerned about politics]

it’s scary in what he wants to give away! does he not care anymore?

Why should he? After all that "hate Bush" propaganda for 8 long years, he doesn't owe anybody anything. Maybe he's going to just sit back and let the democrats deal with their own self imposed depression.

“I am wondering about those on FR who still think GWB was a great conservative president.”

To be honest, I never believed it all the way back in 2000. The apple did not fall far from the tree when it comes to big government programs and deficit spending.

"The news is that the WH supports modification of the earmarked use, which had been to retool for “green” cars."

Note to self....buy stock in companies making green paint...

(to add to previous purchase of companies making 0bambi/UN blue color paint)

true he could be!

i still pray for him and his wife. they seemed so down lately in the photos. i’m hoping it’s just the photographers publishing the worst photos.

Pray for those two border patrol agents that he is letting rot in prison for the next 10 years, too, while you’re at it.

[G Larry]

It CAN NOT help!

They will burn through this cash just breathing for 9 months! There is NO CHANCE of this providing the time or money for meaningful retooling and change.

If they through out the union contracts, that would be a good start.

The “Big 3” are NOT the only car manufacturers in America!
There are several Japaneese and German companies building quality cars here, that don’t have the mafia overhead.

"After all that "hate Bush" propaganda for 8 long years, he doesn't owe anybody anything. Maybe he's going to just sit back and let the democrats deal with their own self imposed depression." The "kill them all and let God sort them out" economic strategy. Interesting.......

[metmom]

Works for me.

At least I’d get something for the money they’re just handing out now when I’m getting nothing for it.

i’m hoping it’s just the photographers publishing the worst photos.

Yeah. You have to watch for those subliminal messages. The liberal press does this type of thing all the time.

[WilliamReading]

George W. Bush is a “Compassionate Conservative”.

[cp124]

None of it goes for legacy issues such as health care costs etc.

That’s funny.

[cetarist]

I heard he was going to let them go! horrible! obama will never let them out either!

[etradervic]

The difference between the Bush and the Dem plan is similar to the difference between stupidity and idiocy. After the 25 billion of tax payer money is wasted, the big 3 will still be uncompetitive. Only private equity and investment can solve this problem.

The only bailout that will work is a bailout of American business and tax payers by the reduction in government.

“George W. Bush is a “Compassionate Conservative”.”

And his daddy was for a “Kinder, Gentler Conservativism” versus the meany Ronald Reagan conservatism.

LOL!!

If they would just lift the damn govt. imposed controls that congress has imposed on the auto industry in this country, these companies could start thriving.

They are doing better in the European market.
