Here’s a free clue, Grizzly: banks stop functioning, the entire economy grinds to a halt.

Detroit stops functioning, the economy takes a big hit, but half the auto industry remains up and running and the rest of us get to keep working.

Get it? GET IT?

Yeah I get it, you’re just like the RINO’s who capitulate to socialism when they think it will “save the economy”. Yeah, cause we all know Socialism does wonders in saving Capitalism. The number of banks failing are not even close to the percentage of banks that went bankrupt in the collapse prior to the Great Depression. The banks doing a good job of not making piss poor business decisions would have been happy to buy out and take the customers of these failed banks. You know, the whole “free market system” we keep touting that will correct itself.

If you feel the need for more Socialist bailouts of private enterprises perhaps you should just do the world a favor and put a (D) next to your name. Save us all the confusion.

Has anyone stopped to ponder,

How many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars the Auto Industry has paid on our behalf, and to our advantage, in taxes over the years?

Cool. So you mean taxes are not really confiscatory, they are really a savings account to be drawn on when times get tough? I totally misunderstood what the tax system was designed to do. Thanks for the info. Next time I run into a rough patch paying my bills, I knwo where to go.

So…Do you have any additional information from your nation wide poll? or did you just pull this out of your azz like most liberals do?

Just great. The text mentions nothing that I could see of ANY concessions by the UAW. What am I bailing out a subsidiary of the DNC?

…and a COLA for judges. WTF?

Here we go again. I will do my part and start contacting my Congressmen and those listed above like Shelby and McConnell. I hope ‘We The People’ get listened to this time.
At this rate Obama will be able to declare himself ‘Dictator for Life’ in about a year, as he will already have control of all of our manufacturing industries, banking & finance, and the markets, thru these senseless bail-outs. He will just have to figure a way to circumvent the military and our state ‘militias’.

The auto bailout, if somehow structured as a loan, might be disgusting but halfway palatable. The bank bailout continues to be an outright theft of taxpayer money, and has done nothing to spur the economy. The idea that Bush opposes the auto loan because he wants to destroy the UAW is tin-foil stuff, and besides, it's Frank and Pelosi trying to look all tough by grilling the auto execs and who will, no doubt, call for rigorous and perhaps unattainable conditions from the carmakers. Conditions for the bank industry? None. And to top it all off, Tom Brokaw thinks we need to take this opportunity to raise the gas tax. Brilliant.

Here’s a question for you: why was Bush so eager to bail out banks but against bailing out autos? I think it’s because he wants to destroy the UAW.

Because he’s just as socialist as you (D)’s and the RINO’s who capitulated to the TARP bailout.
