Chances Dwindle on Bailout Plan for Automakers
Democratic leaders calling for an aid package to help auto companies conceded that they would face potentially insurmountable opposition in Congress.
Excellent!
When the Big Three go bankrupt, renegotiate their labor contracts, and drop half of the deadweight featherbedding UAW employees, I may have room for one of them to clean my toilets at $5/hour.
That might be a bit of a shock for someone used to making $150k/year (including benefits), but on the other hand, it should be a bit liberating to not have to feel guilty about getting paid more than one is worth.
Next step: cut off all aid to New Orleans, and let the locals either save it, or let it drown.

This is one, we the people can undo the government on. If we are truly as ticked off with this as we act, and we are sick at the idea that these companies think they have some right to OUR money – undo it, and undo them. Boycott ALL bailout companies.
Buying a car? Buy Toyota.
Citi cards or bank acctounts? CLOSE THE ACCOUNT
Insurance? Theres better than AIG …
Get the point yet? Its time to send two messages, first to the companies: thats all of our money you will ever get. Then, to the government: When we the people say they dont get our money, they DONT – now they DO fail, now they die.
