- It is amazing to read some of these posts. Some of my best friends whose heart bleeds for our unemployed American brothers and sisters, will flat out refuse to buy American... What exactly do they think buying Japanese or European does to our workforce?

- Tell the auto makers to get there loan through a bank.
The tax payer is not a bank. Obama is and will be the social worker for the corps. WE will be slaves for them in exchanged for our low pay and no health care.
Welcomed to the new world order of bizz. And of course he is not voted in but Americans cant seem to think for themselves again and again....

- If I were a congressperson and I had traveled abroad, I would have realized that Ford, Vauxhall and Opel (GM) and Chrysler have been selling ultra-high-efficiency (60-80 MPG) Diesel vehicles in Europe for years. These companies have the right product at the right time, but they are saddled with the EPA and DOT''s heavy hand. You see, although these amazing wunderwagen are OK for Germans, French, Italians and Nordic Europeans, they "pollute" too much four our fragile consistencies, although the carbon footprint is half of a Prius'', without the problem in 7 years of what to do with a carload of batteries. We need a reality check in congress and we need to take a moratorium on these draconian requirements so we can put 70 MPG cars in the hands of Americans, but not at the $30K that a Prius or a Civic Hybrid will set you back, but at the sub-$14K that Europeans are paying today for a Ford Ka Diesel. Heck, for less than $30K, you can buy a Focus diesel, with a 53 MPG COMBINED city/hwy! Makes a Prius seem piggish, by comparison...

- If a politician represents the interests of a corporation (an artificial person), he/she has disrespected and is in opposition to the Constitution.
"For the corporation and by the corporation"? Not!
Seems they forgot that their job is to represent the real PEOPLE. - Reply to this comment
Corporate America to the citizens:
Thank you for all the personal sacrafices of:
Doing without health care
Working more for less money
Going without a raise
Paying triple price for gasoline
Paying double price for groceries
Training foreign workers to take your job
Sending your children to a profitable war
Paying for the war
Being cowardly citizens
Without all your continuing support, we could not buy out luxury yachts, sports cars, resort homes, etc...
We thank you from the bottom of our wallets. We hope that our relationship always remains the same.- Reply to this comment

- Well, it''''s not as bad as it looks when you think about it. At least it is a loan.
The US government has given over 100 billion dollars to Israel since 1949. We are talking about one of the wealthiest nations on earth, ranking number 1 in the world for millionaires per capita. - Reply to this comment

- Hey US tax payers... I built a piece of *** that supports big oil. Can I have some free corporate welfare now so I can give more of your money to the Standard Oil monopoly? Those poor Rockafellers are down to their last 11 trillion last I heard. Pathethic.

- Screw the auto makers. They are working for the oil companies. A V* is capable of getting over 200MPG with a Pogue carb. Stanley Meyer, Dr. Puharich and others proved you can run a can on nothing but water.

- No wonder so many people fail in their personal finances. They are direct reflection of their government.

- Wait a minute. Congress borrows money from foreign governments and loan sharks at prime rate and then wants to give the automakers a low interest loan?
Who is left paying the difference? The American tax payer, Mr. Cowardly himself. - Reply to this comment

- What? Are they planning to borrow borrowed money?
It''s pretty *** bad when you want to borrow from those already in debt up over their azzes. - Reply to this comment
- I''m sure every conservative will agree that the "free market" should take care of these automakers, and that the government should not get involved.
