IT’S THE UNIONS FAULT! THE UNIONS MADE US BUILD CRAPPY CARS! THE UNIONS MADE US TAKE ALL OF THOSE FAT UNJUSTIFIED BONUSES! UAW MADE US TAKE THESE PRIVATE JETS!!!

AND EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH
THE COUNTRY TODAY IS THE FAULT OF THE UNIONS

Of course, everyone who is not a RepubliCON stooge knows that THAT isn’t true.

“And just how did the executives from AIG arrive at their grovel session? And all the others who have actually received some of the bailout bucks?
I don’t think any of them came by bus or bicycle.”

Good point!!!

“I suspect that “slashing back on non-essential expenses” translates to “laying off workers to improve our bottom line”.”

Exactly! They are holding the “common” workers livelihood hostage!!!!! The ransom is the bailout.

“Also a commitment to NOT move any more factories out of the US. Taxpayers should not be expected to pony up on Monday then take a screwing by the same industry on Wednesday.”

Another good point!!!

“Still waiting for someone to post their understanding of corporate aviation…”

Its not considered so much of a perk these days as a time saving measure that is thereby cost effective to the corporation. The CEO’s time equaling money. At least that’s the story the big corporations with private jets are sticking to . . .

We live in the information age. It’s called teleconferencing.

I just wish people would quit demonizing others and try to understand things from angles they may not have considered before. Still waiting for someone to post their understanding of corporate aviation…

You are such a condescending PUNK. Personally I dont DO requests but I know the very OBVIOUS point you THINK you are making. Yes it is more efficient and in the long run cost effective, at least the argument can be made, for them to fly these private jets which is why I wasnt here chastising them. The guys making the criticism know this too moron, they are talking about how it LOOKS the symbolic message it sends. I am not fond of arguments that put the sizzle above the steak so I never attacked them for it. When are you going to GET that you arent half as bright as you think you are. Your condescension is just another aspect of how STUPID you are. Do you really think no one understood this but you. Let me give you a clue. There is most likely NO EXISTING CONCEPT that you can understand that wasnt clear to the majority of the posters here LONG ago. The sooner you understand that YOU are a moron and most of the posters here ARENT, the sooner you get over yourself, the sooner an actual conversation MIGHT take place.

The thing is, you have to let CEO’s do what they do best with as little interference as possible under the circumstances.

THAT’S THE PROBLEM! THE THING THEY DO BEST IS RUNNING COMPANIES INTO THE GROUND! WE’VE LET THEM DO THAT THING THEY DO BEST FAR TOO LONG, WITH AS LITTLE INTERFERENCE AS POSSIBLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES

As I recall, it wasn’t such a huge deal back when Chrysler was provided loans to stave off bankruptcy. Look what they did – they paid it all back and emerged a much better and profitable company. Taxpayers paid nothing.

Yes, a much better and profitable company…that is asking for another bailout.
You make it easy when you refute your own arguments for us.

dbadass,

You are not much of a literary critic, are you?

Eugene, one of the “Strings” attached to this bailout should be that the idiots responsible immediately resign, sans golden parachute, and have their assets frozen until these companies are in the black again.

Hell YES. I would go for that. It seems though, despite Timmehs delusions about class warfare as what WE are doing, the rich and powerful are quick to circle the wagons and take care of their own so there really isnt much chance Congress would do that. IF ONLY.

Here’s a cheap shot, but one I feel justified in taking:

I dont see how ANYONE as stupid as you could possibly feel justified calling someone else a dolt. You are a moron Timmeh. A moron with delusions of adequacy
