Senate Santa   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Barbara Boxer, a few minutes ago on the Senate floor: "...this is the Christmas season. My goodness, let's take a chance on this. Let's take a chance on this."

Boxer doesn’t have the common sense and smarts she was born with.

OK Babs, here's an idea... why don't YOU liquidate everything you own and bail out the auto union yourself? Hm?

Shocking and disgusting.

Boxer is one of the most anti-Christian people in Washington.

Did they vote on my $10 million bailout yet?

I could use it now.

Classic example of liberal logic and analytical skills.

Isn’t she actually commemorating Boxing Day where presents are given to the “less fortunate”?

Inviting flames here:

I don't see what is wrong with the plan as I've heard it described...why not go with it?

The money comes from a bogus fund congress set up to urge 'green cars'. It's already been appropriated, for a cause that's not needed because all three have next generation cars set within the immediate future. (And, because I don't think we know what "the green car" is going to look like as yet)
The money is to be paid back anyway.
The companies (Ford) don't even have to take it if they don't believe it is needed.
The amount is small in comparison and intended only to get them over to stage two...
Reorganization, with or without Chapter 11, is required and a workable plan is needed in order to (a) be considered for any more help, or (b) have the loan called in ASAP.

The only thing I see as lacking is a mandate to restructure the union as well; restructure and blow out the huge wages and benefits that are choking industry throughout the western world. (It ain't just here folks).
Other industries have already hit their union contracts and / or moved operations to cheaper labor areas. Non-union employees are being ripped off freely.
'Bout time we put an end to the big time grifters.
(Then maybe take a look at government employee pay and benefits..?)

Someone should tell Barbara Bow-Wow Boxer that this is the Advent Season. The Christmas Season is from midnight on Christmas Day until the Feast of the Epiphany.

If any company is too big to fail.

And it is in fact failing.

Then it is too big to bail out with tax dollars.
