President Bush Shoots America the Finger

GoldenRivet · 12-19-08, 06:47 PM

"I know the people dont want this... but im doing it anyway" President Bush said with the stroke of a pen, signing over 14.4 billion dollars of our money to these anal sphincters

It is officially time for our government to be removed... again

That's twice now. First time, "The Constitution is just a GD piece of paper".

He has sold us down the river to the globalists, and now this.

3rd times acharm to me. Grab my flag with the stars in a circle, and the other one with an eastern diamond back on it with the caption DON"T TREAD ON ME on it, and my musket.

They are attempting to blame the president for signing an auto maker bailout bill created and sent to him by a Democrat controlled Congress.

Yea verily...Especially the finance committee that has been Dems for quite awhile now.

I'm glad Bush pushed through this emergency loan package for the auto industry. It may have something to do with the 5000 shares of Ford (F) stock I bought 11/25,

but I also think the US needs a viable auto industry. We cannot keep shutting down all our industries, people. Pretty soon all we'll have left are Wal-Mart, Starbucks, and McDonalds.

I have less than no respect for most American companies but keeping them in business is directly related with keeping the global economy from going to bits

Right you are. The way I see it now, the America's car industry's main customers are americans. And that's the problem. Take BMW or Audi for example, they are very popular all over the world. There's huge market for European and Japanese cars, while the US cars get only a little share of it. They should start to build less "american dream" cars and instead build cars that sell well worldwide.

This bill was blocked by the Senate. There was no bill sent to him, if I understand correctly. He is effectively going around the legislature that blocked this.

Which they have failed to do since the first bailout in 1979. We are not a manufacturing nation anymore. We ARE a service economy. Giving companies that have proved themselves unable to compete in the market for the past couple of decades billions of dollars of its citizens' money AFTER it failed to move through the legislature is simply irresponsible.

The free market dictates we do EXACTLY that when we are unable to produce things here for less money than Mexico or China can. Either socialize our auto manufacturing base completely or let it burn. A loan to keep them going is ridiculous.

Supposedly, it's a loan that allows the governemnt to take shares of the companies if they don't repay them. Nice idea, President ShoeDodger, what good are shares of a worthless company after they blow the loan and don't change their ways?

Can't be done according to the Constitution. Congress is the holder of the national purse strings. If he's actually spending this money it's with their approval.
