GM imploded on Union Retirement obligations and a non competitive workforce...let em go down into the failed land of union failures worldwide... we don't owe those workers anything...they wanted it that way...and they got it....too bad...so sad...fuck GM.... who cares who goes down with them....

We didn't bail out the workers. Even with all the mismanagement at GM, they were the least expensive element in all this.

We bailed out the financial speculators who gambled on GM's corporate prosperity. That is where the BIG losses for the taxpayer were to be had. We were facing those losses because private sector AIG was an irresponsible bookie and took on way too many unregulated bets without the cash to back up their bookie operations.

Instead of buying up those GM bets as "toxic assets" (like we did with the mortgage securities), we simply used taxpayer pocket change to fortify the company and avoid the bets (insurance) from being triggered. It was the cheaper path.

This is the reality of our economy going forward, where everything is tied to gambling done by unregulated Wall St elites.. This is why the economy on Main St never recovers.

Trickle Down as you call it...is what a modern economy is about.... You might wish to read Dr Milton Freedman's pulitzer prize winning book... "Free to Choose".... it is the work that dispells your little theory that 'all things originate with goverment' ... like most libs.... you are iniformed, and proudly ignorant of what constitutes a real free economy.... you are about to be taught a lesson in just that..... behold...you might just learn something ....

Yes I am guilty of typos from time to time...I am getting along in years...but I am smart enough to be able to smell liberal skunks a mile away... I detest the bastards and will do all to my last breath to see the end of the 'progressive' movement. These people are in fact nothing more than enemies of freedom and closet socialist that are too cowardly to come out of the closet. They deal only in lies and half truths and personal attacks as they have nothing else....

Getting back on topic. WTF IS the Republican plan when they (as anticipated) assume a majority in both houses next month?

The candidate I spoke to last week just looked at me like a deer in the headlights when I asked him what his plans were if he won.

Come ON guys, give us something to look forward to.

Come on. I'm not paying that much attention, and even I know the answer to this one. The Reps are going to gun for health care.

I hope they do. Even some of the democrats were saying this is a 'compromise' bill, not meant to stand forever, or even for very long. As it's written it's terrifying.

So,CockMan,I mean Cuckyboy,whatever it is.Another Tea Bagger who can't stand to see Obama as President.The same old socialist,commie crap,blah,blah,blah.Same old Tea Bagging bumper sticker garbage.I have friend's and family who are conservative's.While I do consider myself to be progressive on social issue's,I don't go so far as to exclude myself from those I may disagree with.You on the other hand,like so many right wig nut job's as yourself,won't dare have anything to do with anyone who dosen't see thing's,the way you see them...... I happen to live in Flordia as well right along the oil free Gulf of Mexico as well.A good couple hundred mile's south of you.Yea,your right,the panhandle of Flordia is the conservative part of Flordia.That's okay,you do fit well right up there.The part of Flordia I live in,is a "middle of the road" area.You know,it's swing's both way's.Not just your narrow minded "I have my right's to my gun's" garbage mentality you have....... Let's see,Barack Obama was voted by a majority of his fellow citizen's,you know,that funny thing called Democracy..... Let's see,ever time a Democratic President make's the white house,you right wing nut job's just come around with your same dribble.... Just like when Clinton won.2 year's later,here come Newt and his buddie's doing witch trial's with Clinton for year's instead of taking care of the country problem's..... The Tea Bagger's are nothing new.Just a different mask with the same old player's.Nothing new. If Tea Bagger's do get Congress,it will be nothing more than useless witchtrial's all over again..... The party of NObodie's will sit there and pout like little crybabie's with their pass a fire stuck up their ass...... It's amazing,Canada,England,France,,etc are all Free nation's.They voted for their people as well.Yet,they can provide the basic's such as healthcare and such.It's funny how America spen's more per person on healthcare than any other free nation in the world.Yet,what is it,50 million peeople are without healthcare.People in other country's live longer.Yet,these are free nation's.I wouldn't call them communist country's.Of course,you "think" they are..........I suppose you'll be voting for that fraud Rick Scott come next week too.I swear,you Neo-Con's would vote for Charles Manson if he said he supported less government.I think Neo-Con suffer from some sort of Mental Illness.Something's not working in their brain right.They have no idea what human right's is all about,only they want to destroy human right's...... Sure,neo-con's believe in freedom,as long as your re rich.....Welfare for the rich and to hell with everyone else...... We'll see come Nov 2 CockMan who win's.I wouldn't set my sight's too high on the Tea Bagger's.... It's all make's for good daydreaming,but when reality come's,the Tea Party is about to be crashed.
