I hope you are right....actually, I hope the Auto industry can turn around....but if they can't, I do hope the liquidation monies go back to paying the original debt and not some new Gov. sponsored "need" that's rolled down the pike.

If you want to talk about stifling small businesses, look at the cost of health care to the entrepreneur. I know many who have closed shop for this reason. (Even got married to acquire benefits so they could work for themselves.)

I do care to some degree that others are getting cared for but my neighbors health care is not my responsibility nor is the raising of their children nor anything else that does not pertain to my own family. Its not our goverments responsibility either IMO.

Sticking their noses in to things are what caused this world to turn upside down. If anything the goverment needs to downsize and learn to work for us. Not tell us what or how to do things.

Lets not even get in to the paperwork clusterfuck they will slap us all with. Anyone remember the last one with medicare.
Well maybe they should ask Canada to come down here and design the plan. Paperwork? I don't got no steenkin paperwork from Canada's single payer plan, but boy did I ever get a shitload from Aetna. On top of all the paper I had to deal with their staff, people who would have been out of their depth in a parking lot puddle.

Remeber folks when we talk about screw-ups we still have Wall Street to show how it is really done.

All the corporate welfare programs that Bush and Obama have put together are to be repaid with interest and there is equity to back up any defaults.

Interesting, being a city kid I had never been in a walmart until I bought an old farm house 4 years ago. Now we have one 20 minutes away. (everything is 20 minutes away!) Seems like they have some great values.
