Internal Combustible

Lord Mr. Ford, you would be pleased the company you started did not feed from the federal money buffet!

It seems there are restrictions galore attached to the funds granted to General Motors and Chrysler Corporations. The Treasury and Congress (aka The Fools on the Hill) finally decided it would be a wise to try and make somebody accountable for billions of dollars.

It appears the liberal slanted Congress created the stipulation – if the UAW goes on any sort of strike, bankruptcy will result in very short order. Does it sound as though they are trying to break the union with such a rule of spending?

Where was the accounting of the $350 billion doled in shovels full to the financial institutions?
Congress has all but tied up the automotive industry this country mostly has relied on for the last 100 years by setting almost unachievable standards to meet in such a short amount of time. Three months is just an impossible time frame to turn around an industry, which despite having made mistakes is still a great manufacturing and job resource in our nation.

UAW President Ron Gettelfinger stated he is willing to bargain wages and benefits, which according to the government, are not even close to being in line with similar foreign auto manufacturing working standards.

The CEO's have agreed to do whatever it takes to stay competitive in the world market.

If only the money hungry banks were this closely scrutinized, they would not be at a loss for words when asked, where did it go and who has it now!?

I warned Michigan Senator Carl Levin that when he and fellow conspirators opened the federal wallets, people would come out of the woodwork. Not only the woodwork, but they came from rat holes at the bottom of the walls. Larry Flynt and the Girls Gone Wild franchise jets headed for Washington looking for a $5 billion feast from the buffet.

When the economy continues to decline, the first things to flourish are peoples’ bad habits (yeah, I guess porn might be a bad habit). But drinking, smoking and drug use will increase as the country looks for temporary relief!
One final note, State Lottery sales all over the country have shown a dramatic increase over the last months,this will not solve your financial woes or augment your retirement fund.
