They know how to get RE-ELECTED even though they''ve been robbing your constituents. Barney Frank got 69% of the Massachusetts morons to vote for him.

I don''t blame Congress anymore. I BLAME THE VOTERS who re-elected the same band of thieves to spend another two, four, or six years wrecking the country.

She can give her own money. This was not a bailout, it was a takeover of the Treasury. Read the bill instead of watching TV tonight, get involved with your country and call your Representative. We obviously cannot trust the politicians to run it any longer, I am not sure why we did in the first place.

To all the right wingers who say all the liberals want this:

Go to daily kos, dem underground, et al -- you''ll find that plenty left-wingers aren''t keen on this bailout at all.

And the other slant; what do Pelosi, et al, know that we don''t?

A few of us were discussing that BEFORE the elections. Its a dang good idea. Give US the money and let US put it back into the economy.

I figured something out.

Democrats pander to the poor. Republicans pander to the rich. NOBODY CARES about the middle.

So it has become two-class warfare: The rich and the poor on one side, and the middle on the other side. The Democrats and Republicans support one side. The other side is ON ITS OWN.

You can propose any economic ideology you want - the rich will still be the rich, and the poor will still be the poor. But the middle class can vanish, and it won''t bother the rich or the poor.

How about trying a trickle up policy. Divide the $700 billion among every household in the US and let them "invest" in the economy. The money will trickle up through the auto industry into the banking industry in no time. Posted by yongamerica

I think the goverment wants some company''''s to go under then when it shakes out the ones that are left will make money and lots of it. This has been done before the ones on the edge are gone.

Whose shill are YOU???

I''m one of the first cheering at the prospect of GM finally going bankrupt as it has deserved for DECADES. But not for the reasons YOU give.

It''s about time for GM workers to go to work for NEW OWNERS who DON''T consider "killing the customers" to be a legitimate business plan.

Up yours.

At this point, straight white males who were born in this country are ENTITLED to have any d@*n attitude they want.

I keep saying - now that we have a "black" President, then either whites should get full minority benefits, or the Affirmative Action program should be ended. We whites have been taking it on the chin for too long.

What does the auto industry have for a trade in? Just a minute, I have to check with my manager. OK, the boss wants to know how close to $25 billion will you go? We are not far apart here a billion or 2 more isn%u2019t going to change your lifestyle, you can cut back on 1 soda pop a day, or some other bad habit! Just think of the smiles on the voters faces when they drive to the polling places in a new Chevy.
