So let me see if I got this right: we gave zillions to those punk greed-heads on wall street who should all be in jail or swinging on a rope, but congress can't see any reason to help save the US auto industry. What the fuck? While I think the solution needs to be on the consumer side, i.e government backed cheap car loans, tax breaks for car buying, subsidized prices even; we can not let this industry go down the tubes. Detroit is already Katrina in slo-mo, but these Neo-Hoverites in DC make me want to lock the whole bunch of them up in a small room with Todd Palin on a coke binge. Jesus.... Anyhow here is my idea of the way the hearing could have gone today:
Congressman: " So you folks are here for a loan huh?"
Auto CEO: " Yes sir we sure are"
CM: " Okey Dokey lets just fill out a few forms here and I'll take this to my credit manager, what were you looking to do as far as a monthly payment?" " Oh and by the way I strongly suggest the undercoating and the Lojack."
CEO: "Can we just get a straight answer here?'
CM: "Relax, have a cup of coffee.. wander around the showroom and let me see what my manager says..."
Anyway it could have gone that way.........and that undercoating? A steal at $650!
