Well I’m pretty much done buying GM or Ford cars. 

Why don’t they quit begging for money and build cars people want to buy.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

That’d be too easy.  Much easier to spend millions on lobbyists to bail your business out after making cars nobody wants.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

And now we’ll spend billions more developing cars people don’t want. 

These jokers in Congress are too stupid to balance their own checkbooks or understand their own mortgages but they think they’re smarter than everyone else.

How much is going into the big pockets of union bosses?

"Automotive Innovation” It’s like, were doing it for the children, but for cars. I can’t even express what a JOKE this is! Do they really think we are that stupid?

I agree with Whistler.  My next car will definitely be foreign.  However, my next financial move will be to clamor incessantly that I don’t have enough money to pay my bills.  Then maybe I can get a bailout.  We used to call that welfare.  Before that, we called it socialism.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

It just never seems to end, does it? These jokers stuck this provision into a bill that they knew would pass and would not be as scrutinized because we were focused on the Wall Street bailout. Mediocrity is the word of the day in corporate America. Especially in the automotive industry. GM, Ford and Chrysler refused to budge and build the competitive cars we practically begged for. When they built them, quality control was not a factor. I was hoping that some bright-eyed Congressman would catch the auto bailout. Since when do we have to pay capitalist corporations to be innovative? The fact is, the innovations will make the vehicles more expensive. It is as though we are subsidising
the carmakers to insure profitability. No, Kevin, I do not think much is going into the pockets of big union bosses.

Rewarding failure is evil. Do you think that maybe this whole financial mess was part of a corporate strategy to screw the taxpayer? Do you really think jobs are going to come back to the U.S.? Don’t hold your breath.
