Pelosi can push for aid for GM all she wants. No matter how much money Congress gives to the auto industry, the fact of the matter is cars are over priced and people cannot get loans to buy them.

Pelosi pimps for Detroit. Detroit is a giant cesspool of mismanagement. Their products are mostly ugly gas hogs. They have been losing billions for years. They try to sell a base price car for $16,000, but by the time you buy it - it has $8,000 to $10,000 worth of options.

Detroit is completely uncompetitive. They have to add an extra 2K on every vehicle they sell just to pay their retired workers'' health care and pensions.

Detroit has proven they are incapable of building cars Americans want to buy. They don''t deserve one penny from our taxes. Impeach Pelosi! Will the last person to leave Michigan, please turn off the lights.

If the American auto industry would produce good, energy efficient CHEAP no frills cars, at a reasonable price, they wouldn''t be in this mess! I''m sorry, I can''t afford a $30,000 car. Also, what is the going wage for an auto worker now?..something like $45 an hour? who else makes that kind of money???

You''''''''d rather help people like AIG? High on the hog with tax payer money? Than the united auto workers union? Than GM or Ford? That some weird priorities, fella.

And you think NATIONALIZING GM and Ford is the answer???

The auto workers would be BETTER OFF working for new owners who DON''T think that "killing the customer" is a legitimate business plan...

Nationalization of the auto industry is being advocated by Obama and Pelosi.

They are DEMOCRATS. Look it up.

While you''re at it, look up a good shrink. YOU NEED ONE.

Interesting that Pelosi waited until AFTER the election to announce her plan to NATIONALIZE THE AUTO MAKING INDUSTRY.

Which just HAPPENS to be one of the largest industries in the economy. What industry will be next?

How long before our government owns THE MAJORITY OF THE GDP???

That''s really is. The Democrats are pushing us INTENTIONALLY into communism. That''s why they lie so much - JUST LIKE PRAVDA.

I''ve been warning about this for years. Keeping the economy in the pits makes prime breeding ground for Marxism.

Now it''s here on our doorstep.

COMMUNISM IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR. NOW IS THE TIME TO BAR THE DOOR - OR SWING IT WIDE OPEN.

What will it be, America?
