That's great. More money down the toilet. Just what we need.

Hi MD, My Translation: Democrats had called repeatedly on the Bush administration or the Federal Reserve to act unilaterally, using existing authority, to aid the auto companies We know this is going to turn into a revolving door clusterfck, and we would much prefer to have our future blame lined up on the Bush Administration, instead of us - before the taxpayers figure out we're squandering their dollars like drunken sailors. By then Bush will be long gone, so it's win-win! “We aim to have votes next week on a responsible plan to help the millions of Americans who rely on a healthy auto industry for their livelihoods,”* The Unions are calling for their quid pro quo. Card Check may or may not become a reality - if the automakers go Ch 11, it will be back to the bargaining table, drawing the oxygen from the Card Check agenda. In other words, the leeches are buying the host a blood transfusion. We will need support and cooperation from Republicans to determine what that vote happens and whether it will succeed,” Since the Lame Duck won't cooperate, we Dem's and Repub's better hang together, or we'll all hang separately... Personally, the only course I could possibly endorse would be limited transitional assistance to allow the American domestic automobile industry to return to solvency and profitability,” Mr. Bachus said. “But then only if there is a reasonable expectation of success.” We the Congress know the taxpayers will be bullsh*t mad about us bailing out failed fatcats and their buggywhip industries, especially when they come back about the tenth time for more money, but the fix is in. We just have to make it look good by getting them to squirm a little on camera. What a shame all this didn't happen about 6 months ago. Aggie
