> Outrageous compensation packages, I can agree with - folks in suits wo do > nothing all day, I can't. It only shows how little you really understand > about the various aspects of a business organization. A lot of corporations have some deadwood at the top. It is apparently unpopular to dismiss people at this level for a number of reasons. I have seen suited thieves who were not fired, but were transferred sideways to another "opportunity". I have seen the same pinstriped sapsuckers destroy the profitability and morale of a company due to their incompetence (and still be protected by their huddle of coworkers). I have seen them organize and implement acquisitions which are clearly losers from the onset, because their MBO bonus plan gives them 20% for completing acquisitions. The Peter principle is alive and well. |

... >I wouldn't blame the Detroit Three executives. They were as well prepared >as Paulson was. Why would they expect more detailed answers and plans were >needed? The Senate hearing? Senators - hypocrites Big 3 Execs - hypocrites Self-righteous consumers - hypocrites News media - you know that by now All helped create the problems we're having now, or, ignored the symptoms. Business as usual attitude got us here. The thing different here is the Big 3 Execs just don't get it. The retribution factor, from the consumer, due the Big 3 slowness to change with the times just complicates matters. The senate hearing as a result is a reflection of what those senators are hearing from their constituents. Oddly, more than half of the U.S. polled did not want to bailout banks. Yet, here we are doing just that. Paulsen used fear tactics to get that to pass. In the interim, we saw Paulsen change his mind a few times how to attack the problem. Meanwhile, people were still losing their homes to foreclosure. Corporate big whigs were partying up and still getting their big multi-million bonues. Unemployment increased. The Big 3 Execs tried fear tactics, and failed miserably. I don't see why there is a reason for confusion or reason to question of why the senate hearing demanded a detailed business plan. Some people tend to learn after being bashed in the head a number of times. Even Senators... -- Dave |

They seem to play their little games, enrich themselves, and feed off the lobbyists. An extreme attitude adjustment is indicated. |

There does not seem to be any problem getting loans in this part of Texas, if you have a good credit history, stable employment, etc. The midwestern states have not been hit nearly as hard on the mortgage loan forfeitures as the west coast and east coast...the heavily populated, high real estate market areas. I am sure the floor plan loans are difficult. |

Maybe you should phone the president and let him know. You would have saved the country $800 Billion in additional money that they are going to use to unfreeze the credit market. Tell the president there isn't a problem because your daughter just got a loan. |

If you would read the post, you would realize I posted nothing about my daughter. The two posts are intermingled. Get your head out of your ass. The credit market here in the midwest is not as bad as in other areas.. That is a fact, at this point. |
