Oh look the mother has milk! Well then… let’s go suck on the nipple.

Mr. Obama has repeatedly asked for “better ideas”. Here is one. Instead of giving tax breaks buy 5 million cars from American auto makers over the next two years and devise strategies to get these to deserving families or individuals for free or for a small fee. Or else give these to state, county, and city agencies. Perhaps this will not create many new jobs but it will preserve existing jobs and rehire layoffs. Also the US car makers will not need to beg for more bailout money.

Sky Captain - First I’ve heard that car manufacturers caused this ‘financial mess.’

Financial entities are the culprits and their movers and shakers - who in my mind are guilty of fraud - are not only getting away scot-free, and not only laughing in their champagne at what they got away with, they apparently feel their victims aren’t worth an apology.

Sorry my comment wasn’t written clearly enough.

Do you want to see people employed, or unemployed? If so, you should keep your mouth shut and at least support the bailout of Ford, Chrysler, and GM. Nobody’s asking you to support the cars they make, just to keep people employed.

In Alice in Wonderland speak, it’s curiouser and curiouser that the bad actors who caused this financial mess have yet to speak out and ‘explain’ or perhaps justify their actions?

I can only think that, to quote Gatsby’s friend Nick Carroway’s comment when walking away in disgust from the mega-rich Tom Buchanans, “They’re careless people.”  They go through their lives destroying people and they could care less.
