They all need to be fired. Congress and Auto execs

barney frank, chris dodo, et al

Seems like its only the Big Three having the issues....
Congress created this mess.
I’m amazed by the coverage of the execs flying in on their corporate jets paid for by the shareholders, while the banks and Paulsen are getting off scot free explaining exactly WHERE DID THE MONEY, you knows, those hundreds of billions thrown out there for the fraudsters, has gone and WHO got it?
It’s all a huge bait and switch topic.
Throw the autos to the lions while shielding the banksters and Paulsen.

If the reason was forcing automakers to deal with higher gasoline prices, perhaps the politicians could explain why they have made fuel more scarce by blocking domestic drilling for oil and preventing new refineries from being built during the past three decades.
