OK, if you read through all the corporate Bullshi*, this says either:

1. Yeah, we'll take some free money; who'd be stupid enough not to.

or

2. Our balance sheet would really suck if it had all of our liabilities on it. All that money we just raised wasn't enough and our bonuses and options will be in jeopardy if we don't reach for the lifeboat before we go under.

Who knows.

"The Fed is seeking to stem the credit-market seizure ".

Read that as:

The Fed is trying to replenish the 'looted treasury'.

"GE to Use Fed’s Commercial Paper Facility Next Week "

As a proud, new GE stockholder, I'm glad to see them taking advantage of our newly socialized financing options. The only real danger I see here is corporations becoming totally dependent on government loans into perpetuity. It's like a Fannie and Freddie for corporations..
