and 25 billion goes down the crapper.Every 10 weeks.You want to bitch about wasting taxpayer dollars then I suggest people get their heads out of their asses and look in that direction.The downside in letting our automakers go tits up far outweighs the risk of a 25 or even 50 billion dollar LOAN to our largest manufacturing base.Get a fucking grip.At least we have a chance to recoup that investment.Bombing innocent people doesn't have any upside,fiscally or morally.Shoring up an industry that 1 in 10 American jobs rely on is a risk we should gladly take in view of the alternative.If they have trouble paying us back how about we leave Iraq 10 weeks earlier than whatever future deadline calls for and be happy. 10 FUCKING WEEKS IN IRAQ!

3. Can I have your permission to save your post in a document folder? |

I love it. Short, easy-to-understand, sensible solution to many of our financial problems. 10 fucking weeks, indeed.

6. K&R, that really puts things in perspective. |
|
Imagine the suffering we could eliminate with the proper allocation of our tax dollars. 10 weeks! This reaffirms my contention that the right wants our auto industry to fail for idealogical (union busting) reasons.

10. Soon We Won't Be Able To Afford That... |
|
The more money this regime shovels out to its buddies takes away from money they can throw at their occupation and failed war for profit. With the Asian economies tanking as we stop buying the cheap Chinese crap, so is the money being borrowed to keep the adventurism alive. And let's not forget how stretch and strained our military is...both in morale and materials. The more money this regime prints the more it will cost to keep the Iraq game going.
We're headed for the same "lesson" the Soviet Union did in the 80's. A kleptocracy run amok whose arrogance and largess destroyed a nation.
