>> If Romney had his way, the auto industry would have been in liquidation. Private money just wasn't available at that time.

Nonsense.

If GM had been properly restructured with the UAW contracts killed (as it would have been) and the government backed the debt with corporate coupon rates, you would have had investors lining up to buy that debt. Particularly if they wanted to attach warrants, which could have been done if necessary.

You just don't have a clue what you're talking about. Hell, even small investors would have wanted a piece of that action.

>> But nothing like what Romney has done.

There really isn't anything to say other than "You're wrong." We're not going to resolve this. The Obama smear job was evident from the outset, and in fact, it leaked out of Obama's campaign time and again that they knew they had nothing to run on and would have to resort to a totally negative campaign.

Hell, just last week Obama said, "Don't vote for me because of what I've done; vote for me because of what I'm GOING to do." That pretty much tells the story.

You know, when his campaign manager announced that he had no intention of letting the fact checkers run the campaign?
He meant it...but hey look on the bright side...the more blatant the lie in the attack the more evidence that they have little left to lose....

Nonsense. With federal guarantees as Romney advocated there would have been PLENTY of private money....and the Treasury would not have had to write those checks....
