Bailing out the US auto industry

I dont agree with all 3 in 3 separate private jets buuuutttt


You guys do know that when you get to CEO status...alot of companies want you to do this for safety reasons right?

Don Estridge, known to the world as the father of the IBM PC, was killed aboard flight 191 along with much of the IBM executive team responsible for that project. The loss arguably put IBM at a competitive disadvantage against competitors such as Compaq. Since that accident, IBM\'s corporate travel policy has prohibited more than two company executives traveling on the same commercial airline flight.

For OP.. Toyota may have qurterly sales higher than US makers, but GM ALWAYS is up their with them yearly, if not on top. The problem is not that people don\'t buy the cars, it is everything else.

Yes, but have 8 or 9 private jets at 36 million a pop at your disposal at any time seems a bit much don\'t you think...

Not to mention the maintenance involved with owning and flying private jets.

If we bail them out, I get a free GM car. Gimme a yellow corvette. With the hot horny blonde chick in the passenger seat.

Oh my God! That\'s a lie! Because Obama is in the office, I expect to have a lot less take home pay so I can\'t buy the fancy electronics I want. My taxes are going to fat Laqueeta and her 9 bastard kids coz they need see a doctor and their fat mom needs a dietitian.

So...less money for me, more money for those lazy fucks.

right, b/c you make a quarter of a million dollars a year......

also you can take your closet racist comments and stick them up back up your ass.

White    38.8%
Black    37.2
Hispanic 17.8
Asian     2.8
Other     3.4

Looks like like more of your money is going to fat ass inbred Betty Sue and her 13 rugrats.

I hate all races. I\'m not white, BTW.

You could argue that there are more white people than there are black... And a large portion of the hispanic people in the states are illegal ... I\'m just saying...

Regardless of race, the people on that list made bad life choices.

What are those percentages showing?

And yes, gross lazy white people are just as disgusting as gross lazy black people, but not quite as gross as mexicans in general.

At least we can all agree on that.

where IS mystique?

This morning on the radio a local DJ was saying how now that we are facing millions of potential job losses, should we be for the bail out now?
 
I got a little worked up about the idea of spending another 34 to however many billion dollars of tax payer money. If we want to help out those companies, we can reduce the amount of taxes, fees, and whatever else the Big 3 have to pay the government, and they can try to keep their businesses afloat with their own money instead.
 
She said giving the money to the car industry is like helping out average Joes, but when it comes from our mounting national debt and our tax rolls, it hurts all of us.
 
Then, if anything, offer incentives for the auto industry to be competitive so they can, I dunno, sell a car or two next year.

A new report just came about how many jobs was lost in november...and the number was over 533,000!!...that is insane....it doesn\'t matter how much money you throw at the car industry....if people continue to lose their jobs at such an unheard rate,..nobody\'s gonna be able to buy them.

Well that and if people generally prefer toyota and foreign cars over american cars in general, then i don\'t see how throwin\' more money at the big three will solve it. Because while i do feel that more people do indeed buy more foreign cars than american cars, i don\'t feel that the gap is sooo big that the big three are going out of businesss behind it....i still see a healthy amount of new american cars and trucks on the road on a daily basis.
