Simply put: $700 billion for paper-money profiteers and not a dime for people who actually build things?
If the auto bailout does not pass, I’m denouncing the Republican party. If you really believed in letting poorly run business fail, then all those banks and stuff? Should be dead. Dead as a doornail. Detroit’s come a long way since ’85, and while I agree they’ll need some oversight with our money at least what they make has actual, physical, tangible value. Paper profits and pushing papers will not cause the kind of catastrophe that the complete collapse of what little is left of America’s heavy industry will cause. There are many to blame, CEOs, politicians, those wanks at Consumer Reports…
If there is no bailout, I want a recall of all $700billion of my tax dollars from companies I don’t give a flying fuck about. This country, without industry, will be owned… and 0wnd by Europe and Asia anyway and we’ll need that cash to cushion that blow. Besides, what’s so bad about Citi going under? 15,000 people are laid off, but millions don’t have to pay back those oft-times poorly issued credit cards. GM goes under they’re predicting as many as 2.5 million jobs will be lost, 10% national unemployment, and I’ll be relegated to public transport.
Not a hard choice.
To all Republican office holders: Pass this. Or else.
