    You have got to be F'in kidding me. The Dept of Energy is going to give them $25B and maybe more..

    This really just ads fuel to my fire.

    Why is it that people aren't fed up with this crap.

    Capitalism is quickly walking out the door.

    And socialism is walking in, and they are giving each other high fives in between the exchange.

    Walking out the door? I would say we picked his ass up and threw him out a second story window.

    I know you know this, but this is as much a problem with Republicans as it is Democrats.

    I hope Obama's government takes some of you guys 401K.
    Then lets talk about socialism versus capitalism.

    Remember a few months back I stated that we would have to bail out the auto industry then the airlines.
    Most people are fed up with this but not the workers whose jobs are at stake.
    The dirty little secret is that one area that is killing the auto industry is the unions and the amount of benefits they have to pay until someone dies.
    Socialism at its best are unions, companies having to support people while they work, then retire, as insurance, medical prices rise and people live longer, I'm not saying this is the only reason but it plays a role.
    Most socialists like some in this forum ignore the issues that doesn't support their arguments.

    Nothing is a freebee, someone has to pay for your free services.

    In the auto makers' case, the problem lies at the doorstep of the UAW.
    They killed the goose...
