Really guys, how clueless can you get?
The CEOs of the big three automakers flew to the nation’s capital yesterday in private luxurious jets to make their case to Washington that the auto industry is running out of cash and needs $25 billion in taxpayer money to avoid bankruptcy.
…
All three CEOs – Rick Wagoner of GM, Alan Mulally of Ford, and Robert Nardelli of Chrysler – exercised their perks Tuesday by flying in corporate jets to DC. Wagoner flew in GM’s $36 million luxury aircraft to tell members of Congress that the company is burning through cash, asking for $10-12 billion for GM alone.
Play me the world’s smallest violin:
As if that’s not enough for stupidity, here’s a GOP idiot saying the $25billion bailout money “is not your money”:
With fools like that, did the GOP deserve to lose? Definitely.
Meanwhile, Romney changed his mind and now says Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.
I’ve always felt that the Lee Iacoca Chrysler bailout was a mistake. Another Detroit bailout will be an even bigger mistake.
Let them go bankrupt.
No more bailouts. Period.
I can see your point with Iacoca, but he did bring Chrysler back and lived up to his end. I don’t see that happening this time around. Iacoca didn’t have to face the government regualation (CAFE standards) of today. The government wants these cars to get gas mileage that may not be possible if they are intended to serve families, workers, and other spcialist. They are pushing Detroit in a corner and the UAW has them surrounded.
