Bail-out disgust

I feel sorry for the auto execs. First they are shamed into 'car pooling', then they are forced into taking a $1 salary (yeah, these two actions really prove they are serious and its really going to help save the companies. yeah, right.) All symbolism.

Will they have to go back to Washington again? Maybe this time they'll travel by bus or hobo down there on empty box cars to grovel before the almighty and powerful oz?

Who would be surprised by a mob of angry congress men shouting "burn them! burn them!"? They will march over to Madman Speaker Pilosi's office. The BO will be there, too. Pilosi will ask how to prove they are witches. BO will suggest if they float like a duck they are witches. Pilosi will get her balance scale out and put Mulally, Wagoner and Nardelli on one side and a duck on the other. It will balance and prove the CEOs are witches. The mob will haul them off continuing to shout 'burn them! burn them!'.

So who will run the Big 3? The (democrat controlled) government of course. They're the best.

61% of Americans do not want a bail-out. Bring these people around by threatening a depression like no other. Yeah, they are the best.

More Big 3 bailout

Have you heard the news?!? Horror of horrors! The auto executives flew in private planes to go before the House Financial Services Committee. The nerve! I suppose they respectively each took a great big gas guzzlin', pollutin' Ford, GM and Chrysler SUV from the airport and did not even think about carpooling.

From this WSJ article...

Lawmakers spent more than three hours grilling the executives on issues ranging from the management of their companies to their decision to fly to Washington on private jets, which one member called "arrogant."

It is disgusting to see these politicians in their committee, all the posturing, the high-and-mighty, looking down on their victims. Whom are they calling "arrogant?"

It takes a special kind of person to go into politics. They themselves grovel for campaign money and votes. Then they turn around and treat people like dirt. Disgusting.

End corporate welfare!

The country would be a whole lot better off if there was an end to corporate welfare by the Big 3.

The 'corporate welfare' that I am talking about is the way the Big 3 have been coerced by the UAW to provide welfare benefits to the union members.

Take a look at this post on the taxmanblog. Watch the Bonior video. Sick.

There should be no bail out for the Big 3. If they fail, it will hurt the auto workers, suppliers, and globally on down the line. The Big 3's web is world-wide. To the auto worker, I'm sorry for you. But you are an American, so get off your ass and pull yourself up. After all there are no guarantees or free lunches in life.

If the Big 3 fail, they will be back. Smaller, faster, leaner, smarter. This is their chance to bust the UAW. It is their chance for a new start. There is just no way we can continue down the path we are on.

For now, the Republic endures.
