RE :White House are that they know that bankruptcy is not an option

It will be interesting to see what they come up with. My guess is by going around congress Obama can just remove any conditions and fund them quietly in 2009, maybe Obama will get a blank check now that there is a precedent.

I never thought I'd join the "Impeach Bush" crowd. Now, he's given me a reason.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said, however, the government would have to be satisfied the industry could survive and compete in order to receive help.

If this were really true they wouldn't have pulled the rug out from under the Pubs, especially those in the senate that actually tried to fix the problem.

If this happens, I will not buy another UAW-made vehicle again.

FWIW, I did not buy a Chrysler product until they had repaid the government loan they received. They repaid it quickly.

I will also never buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle for similar reasons.

We would have to assure ourselves that this was a step on the path to long-term viability," Paulson told Fox News.

The reason the industry is in trouble is because Americans are not buying the cars.

Is that going to change?

Given the state of the economy, even the foreign automakers are hurting. So who is going to buy new cars right now?

Since this bailout has already been voted down, this just isn’t right. And the open checkbook given to Paulsen is just ridiculous.
