Auto Bailout Illegal ?

How can der Fuhrer do anything illegally?

 

Just in case anyone doesn't know, I found out last night at my Lifegroup meeting that the average line worker at those GM Plants make about $150-200.00 per hour. Union Backed Job. Do you feel so sorry for them now. Who makes 200.00 Hour besides a doctor or lawyer????

 

Companies nor unions cannot drive costs up beyond what people are willing to pay for vehicles. But of course the communists in this country believe that the proletariat deserve compensation equal to that of the execs and the owners otherwise they are being oppressed. Which explains the UAW wages.

 

Another fine Republican free market initiative brought to you by the waning days of the Bush Administration (conservative of course)

 

Bush is not 'conservative' in the financial and limited government sense of conservatism. He does seem to be conservative as far as moral values goes..... although some may debate the Iraq war.... and did he lie or honestly feel compelled to go to war for cause.

Personally, I've gotten the feeling along throughout his Presidency, that his policies have been pushed by powers of influence and finance and secret forces which none of us are privileged to know. He might've been a dead president if he had not cooperated. Sort of like JFK, MLK, Robert Kennedy, and Ronald Reagon (almost). ............................and while Obama proposes 'change' and is completing his cabinet..... I bet there are already 'handlelers waiting in the wings to steer him into what he can and can not do to oblige with their program.

President Bush did what presidents do unless the Congress steps in to exercise their powers and their rights to overrule. Considering that many people did not support the first bailout, and were adamantly against this.... he made a strategic move to grant assistance, provided the Congress allows it to stand.... while giving the transitions of powers to take place.

I think it is wrong. But then I was against the first 'firesale' bailout which was sold to teh Congress and the American people to begin with.

 

I like what my Representative wrote (he's a Republican)

Emphasis added..... not in the original communication.

How can anyone believe this stuff??????

 

==Having studied the Holocaust, I believe your remark is historically off base and inappropriate. We may not agree with the way the Bush administration has governed over the past eight long years, but that is no reason to compare him with one of the most wicked mass murderers in the history of Western Civilization.


________________________________

As for the auto bailout being illegal, technically speaking so was the Louisiana Purchase and many other things our government has done. Sometimes crisis calls for unusual actions. President Bush, for once, did the right thing when he loaned money to the two car companies. By doing so he has, at least, put off a massive worsening of the economic situation in this country. Those who believe the bailout was wrong must ask themselves what the alternative was. What happens if GM goes under? I can tell you what will happen but I'm not sure most people in the Republican Party want to hear it. Sometimes political and economic realities must be put ahead of political ideology. Normally I would be 100% opposed to any bailout. However when I considered the alternative to a bailout at this point in history I found that I had no choice but to support this loan/bailout.

 

We do not know if he has or has not.
