Im here to send a message to Washington and Wall Street: We are not going to leave the workers here in Michigan hung out to dry while we give billions in taxpayer dollars to Wall Street, McCain said, according to a transcript e-mailed to reporters by his campaign.
It is time to get our auto industry back on its feet. Its time for a new generation of cars and for loans to build the facilities that will make them. --
Lol. Anyone else need some money while we have the Press printing?
This is getting absurd.
Any chance Obama or McCain would say no in a Election year?

I’m sick as hell of all of these companies getting our money, FROM THE GOVERNMENT. If hybrids were such a great investment, they should have no problem investing in themselves and yielding a profit from the sale of those hybrids, assuming hybrids are such a great investment. Right?
In other words, “Nazi Pelosi...if you don’t want Michigan to go Republican, you had better be free with the payola!
I knew this was coming, it was only a matter of time. This is beyond sickening. Every interest group is coming out of the woodwork with their hat out to the government. Next are going to be millions of college grads asking to have their student loans paid off. Then states are going to ask for bailouts to keep funding their precious liberal programs. Time to start moving your money and assets off-shore FReepers, and contemplate on retiring to Central America.
I wonder if this could cause trade disputes.
money for unions, that’s all.
the big 3 haven’t figured out yet why honda and toyota are such desirable cars.
Well the government is designing cars for the big 3 and setting mpg standards so either they negate the damn interference or give them a loan to retool
Why give them $25 mil when Congress can rescind the 2007 legislation and save them $100 million.
Today we Natioalize AIG and we will soon Nationalize GM. And both democrats and republicans will support this move to communism.

Bump. Am wondering if this time next month, it’ll cost $10k to buy a loaf of bread. Judging from the rate taxpayer dollars are being given awat, not much longer IMHO. Where’s the compassion in that Dubya?
After years of fighting it, I fear the socialist vulture has truly landed. :(:(:(:(
I have a couple accounts with Peter if ya want to talk private about it.
I have written my senator telling him that I am against it, but what I am for is removing all of the CAFE and other restrictions on auto manufacturing. These companies are making money overseas and losing it here.
Now it is not really that simple. The unions are breaking them. Not necessarily with wages, but more likely with pension funds and so many fringe benefits.
When the foreign companies build an auto plant here, they start from a clean slate. They do not have retired employees that have not worked for 10 r 20 years drawing a retirement check, getting health care insurance, etc.
Somehow, the big three must reduce that overhead to a reasonable level.
One way is to go Chapter 11. The referee in bankruptcy can then declare all contracts null and void and everyone starts over from square one.
That is what I think they should do. And get out from under all of the CAFE and EPA crap.
Write your senators. I think the house is a waste of time. Get it stopped in the senate.

Clear from your mind any notion of a bailout, Pelosi told reporters after the meeting. This is about innovation.
Reminds me of when Gerry Brown referred to laws as “concepts”.
What the hell is this now? America takes a mulligan?
2008- when America went to a full blown socialist command economy.
It begins.
