Interesting, at least he didn't walk of a cliff as lemmings do when
they learn to walk.

Being a social liberal and a fiscal conservative, I'm really on the fence.
Opinion, FWIW, is that the economy will recover sooner rather than later,
and at least the borrowed money is going toward things that have value now
(infrastructure) and in the future (clean energy). But he'll have to take
on entitlements if he wants to solve this mess, and does anybody have enough
guts for that?

To stay on-topic, I think GM is collateral damage from the cowboys of Wall
Street. If there's outrage it ought to at least be directed to the right
place.

The nation is not trying to tax itself into prosperity, its trying to spend
itself into prosperity. I thinks its related to "trickle down economics."

I used to listen to him on the radio about 15 years ago in DC because he did
have some interesting views, but he's a hypocrite and morally bankrupt. He
helped organized the raid at Watergate and all he ever talked about was that
he went to prison because he didn't cooperate with the investigation, never
mind that what he did was illegal and just plain wrong. He would rant about
gays in the military would destroy the armed forces one minute and then
blast Clinton as a draft dodger the next. I used to think if Clinton were
gay then he wouldn't have anything to rant about.

"Raid" it was actually the SOP political espionage "sneak in" that the
parties did at the time. They just got caught via a piece of tape.

Nowadays each campaign gets hacker released from prison - to help "raid" for
info.

May I introduce you to some of the planters of the old South prior to the
Civil War, guys like John C. Calhoun, James Hammond, etc.

"The current vice of unbridled/unregulated
capitalism is a design which ensures personal
profit while displacing risk onto the public
sector." -pj (2009)

Gosh, this doesn't look like capitalism. More
like some mixture of Plutocracy, Oligarchy and
Aristocracy.

Yesterday we were informed that many GM
bondholders have hedged their bond investments
with credit default swaps. So, they ain't
sweating BK by GM.

Why is it that I think those swaps are from
underfunded outfits? And, why is it that I
think I'm about to be screwed by another bailout
of an underfunded outfit that, "can't be allowed
to fail?"

All probably advised by attorneys working for a
Limited Liability Corporation (LLC)!
