Re: Dems want to bail out GM, but isn't it dems that are always railing against business's?

Funny, I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing awhile ago...Can you imagine in even semi-normal circumstances, that any of the Dems would want to be "giving" money to any of the Auto Makers...? The Dems have pushed for years for higher salaries and more benefits for all those 'poor workers' who belong to all those RICH Unions who support the Dems with very real Millions of dollars, extracted from all those 'poor workers'....

Something is very wrong with the picture.

The answer to the Car manufacturers should be No More Billions....

An aside....we used to talk about helping with "millions" of dollars....NOW we talk about BILLIONS.... People should stop, and try to visualize how many One Thousand Dollar Bills would be in how many piles on their living room floor to total One Million dollars....

THEN visualize how many piles of One Thousand Dollar Bills would be in piles to total One BILLION dollars....

Have all the airlines who have gone bankrupt had such massive bailouts to survive another day? Most of them did survive, and even with the massive oil/gas problems of the year, most of them are still flying, and have people flying in them, and operating them. Yes, we have pretzels instead of dinner, if we're lucky. Peanuts are too expensive.

Maybe we could give the Car Makers some tax relief help for two or three years in lieu of handing them actual cash.
