Would be really funny except it is a little too close to the truth:

I still got a laugh out of it. Any guesses on when Fiat-Chrysler (or
will it be Chrysler-Fiat) files for Chapter 7?

They didn't bail out Detroit or American Industry or Americans.
They bailed out Wall Street and Global Speculators and Banking.
They should have bailed out the victims and let them(us)rescue the firms
deserving bailing out with our spending.
The result we have is that there is endless supply, of proposed and
already implemented tax increases, fees, revenue enhancement, lost jobs,
manufacturing base, and a devaluing currency.
That's all upside down and they keep talking about preserving and
improving it.

The bankers' people in the government bailed out the bankers. Goldman
Sachs didn't give all that money to Obama just for fun.

Sometimes one might think that's what they want achieve.

GM is the brink of becoming the Amtrack of autos.

Someone (in the Toyota group) suggested a payment of $1M to every American
over 50, with certain stipulations:
You had to 'retire'.
You had to pay off any mortgages.
You had to buy a new American car.

I would suggest $2M...

I'd buy TWO American cars.
I'd sell my house for less than market value and build a brand new one.
I'd 'retire' but still keep some kind of job that no one else would want
(like the one I have...It's not full time)

That would have stimulated the economy a hell of a lot better than what
Barry did, AND cost exactly One Fu@k of a lot less.

HEY WAIT! Nancy Pelosi has PLANS to SAVE GM and bring it back to its former
glory. She has designed a 2012 SUV that is GREEN for Chevrolet.
