Ted, there have been some really great suggestions made on the RE Crash thread about the Auto bailout. The gist of them are: Why don't the banks that have already received the 350 billion in TARP money loan the automakers what they need? Are not the auto companies troubled assets? Is that not what the funds are FOR?

Given the destruction on Wall Street this year, that's certainly understandable. But "the really bad part" is people are leaving New York because they can't afford it anymore and "they're bringing the horrific message about what's happening in New York back to their hometowns," which isn't helping anyone's mindset, she says. This could be terrible. All the good, decent towns in America flooded with out of work New Yorkers. What will we do? Just as we took in Ray Nagin's Katrina Victims, I'm sure we'll let the New Yorkers in. But I hope they don't bring that unbridled liberalism with them and destroy the rest of the country.
