However, everyone was happy because Fannie Mae & Freddy Mac bought all of them, and the Democrats stopped regulatory or investigative bills that Republicans tried to pass. Corrupt politicans & Wall St. CEOs have filled their pockets all along, betraying the responsible people who have paid their own way. Now they have hung the Bailout noose around our necks & those of our descendents. The Big 3 have to file bankruptcy to reorganize & rid themselves of corrupt union regulations, or they will be history. We cannot bail them out too.

It is time that American citizens revolted against our corrupt politicans. Have Pelosi & Reid recalled by their constituents; put Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Frank Raines, Paulson, et al., in prison, and get back all the illegal money that they and the Wall St. CEOs took with them.

Insist this country become Energy Independent ASAP through drilling, clean coal, nuclear reactors, & other unsubsidized means–which includes ethanol, which the govt. is subsidizing via sugar, corn, etc. crops, which also raises the price of our food. This will save $700 Billion a year to pay down our debt.

Turn welfare (except for the sick/elderly), into workfare (jobs that illegals are working because 'Americans' won't do them), and offer training for higher-paid skills to collectors on their own time. Soon enough they will choose to learn jobs that pay more than minimum wage. Enforce our immigration laws by deporting current prisoners and all those committing new crimes, strengthen the Border fence, and jail businesses that hire illegals. That will soon benefit our social programs.

Americans have to become pro-active and stop being victims!!

What is that in the sky? Science. Pure Science, that really only can be done on a scale of Government financed projects. Pure science endowment is, perhaps one of the few things Gov't can do well. The private sector benefits a great deal from the work we do in space. Undeniably.

Companies that have mismanaged themselves, made bad Union deals, fail to lobby against federal Idiots and CAFE are in deep trouble. They need not have the financial commitments they have. If it is cheaper to procure parts from other countries and assemble here, well DUH! That is the new business model for success.

You want change. Or do you want to preserve and send us back in time? Surprising at how progressive conservative economics can be!

It is simply the old buggy whip scenario.

THe world has "changed" with more than the last election. As a residential remodeler, my business plan, materials, suppliers, labor force has changed over the past 35 years. This is how I make money to invest! Change.

Allright, Barney and Nancy, et al, go ahead and give the big three their money. But note this…I will NEVER, EVER!! BUY A ANOTHER GM, FORD, OR CHRYSLER PRODUCT (And I'm a NASCAR fan!). I WILL WORK TIRELESSLY TO INFLUENCE AS MANY OTHERS AS I CAN NOT TO BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. If enough of us band together to apply the right economic pressure in a large enough dose, we can destroy the UAW and their commie benefactors in our "new government of change".

Well now, I feel better!

I know for myself the pension funds that pay my monthly income was removed from the funds used to operate the business thus is not a financial burden to the company's ongoing business expenses. This has worked for my company since this separation of funds was initiated back in the late 70s.
