Sorry. I think you’re gonna have to wait till Palin gets there. I predict she’s going to GUT just about everything (and every employee) in DC and let the oil companies go wild with drilling — and that will probably just get us a few trillion out of debt…

[...] Yesterday, I guessed the final price tag would be $70 billion by the time the bailout gets signed. I think I’m going to have to kick it up another $20 billion. Posted in: Subprime crisis Send to a Friend Printer Friendly comments (0) trackbacks (0) [...]

I will show my age but I miss the days when all you saw were fords, mercurys, chevs, pontiacs, lincolns, buicks, olds cads, dodges, plymouths, desotos, chryslers and imperials. I even longed for the days that Ford would revive Edsel and I wish it would have given it couple more years to regroup. Now we are facing an auto industry that is about to fold and there are many reasons for it such as poor quality, unions, laziness etc. I wish they could revive themselves on their own.

I think the auto makers need to go to the oil companies for their help. How many bil in windfall profits did the oils make? Cars and oil go together.

Wow. I am astonished at what liberals classify as an intellectual argument.

My book comes out in March. Those desperate to see my face can simply observe the back cover.

Perhaps some of the bailout money can be spent on giving that liberal fellow sensitivity training.

He does seem a tad mean.

It is a poisonous lemon at any cost; Congress and Bush need to just say no; Either restructure under Chapter 11 or just go under, like Packard, Studebaker, American Motors, Oldsmobile, Nash, Tucker, Marathon, and oh so many more!; The intent is only to salvage the UAW, which is the main reason manufacturing jobs are leaving in the first place; Time to stop the job bloodletting now.

btw, Oldsmobile didn’t go under, GM brought off Oldsmobile in a merger and eventually killed it off in 2000.

its not that they need to go under or file bankrupt, the Big 3 need to broken up like they should been 40 years ago. Their anti-competive practices are part of their problem.

Introducing the Ford Palin.

I believe you are thinking of the Plymouth SaraCouda. Sleek chassis, nice body, designer headlights and 600 horses under the hood. Critics hate her because she makes them look like the limp-anxled Nash Ramblers they really are.
