This is the hypocracy that has made America so bitter. The same people that will repo your car in the middle of the night will tell you to "be responsible". Now when the fat cats run their finances into the dirt they get a check from the guvment.

What a load of ****. Why can't we let the "free market" run it's course. I see they only like the free market when it suits them. As soon as the **** hits the fan socialism is A okay all of a sudden.

It seems it was stopped for now. Thank whatever you pray to for the Senate. The majority party can ram anything down the House on numbers alone. But it will probably happen come January as SUBMAN noted...

The markets are going to f'ing plunge tomorrow. But better we feel the pain now instead of postponing it and making it worse. I really hope we don't rescue US Auto with more debt.

PD

I love the new Mustang, but aside from that I haven't seen a 'big three' car I'd even look at for years. That's not even getting into the reliability/quality issues.

I wish I could believe the money would be spent wisely, but who am I kidding? The banks are already wasting the money we gave them! I'm a banker and I am pissed about that.
