GM
bipartisan my ***. i'm a conservative, at least fiscally and foreign policy. show me one presidential candidate since reagan who is an actual conservative.
My views are more in line with socialism so I make no apologies for what I said.
good. we can have a legitimate argument then. so many dems and liberals are intellectually dishonest from the start by claiming they somehow don't have socialistic views. socialism doesn't work by the way.
That's all you did prior to the election was claim to be some bipartisan now you are admitting to being on the right.
the union holds majority seats. canada even has a seat on the board at GM. if you want to be naive, that's fine, but when the president fires rick wagner, seems to me the government holds all the cards. you can look at the shadow game all you want, but the unions are the biggest obama backers in the country, and they have a majority on the board. the goverment controls over half the decision makers and has a "car czar". explain to me why they aren't controlling GM.
never claimed bipartisanship. you accused me of it then too. i hate the liberal/progressive idea, and have always said so. you do know the meaning of bipartisanship right? i'm far more libertarian, which aligns itself more with republicans, but i recognize crap repubs when i see them, and i don't see very many decent ones.
As soon as you explain to me how the government has any control of GE. In exchange for capital, the government got 60% of GM. It remains to be seen, but I expect the government to sell its share of GM and get out.
they wouldn't have all gone out of business. bankruptcy doesn't mean you go out of business, which i guess you must think. and if that's what it takes, that's what it takes. we are just prolonging the inevitable and not allowing the market to reset. throwing money at a problem never fixes the problem, which is essentially what we've done. we bailed out chrysler in the 70's as well. packard went out of business and we didn't fail. we're going to bring down the whole country trying to bail out corrupt and failed businesses. we can't subsidize everything forever on a debt standard.
i liked ron paul, except for his idea about abolishing the fed. i think we need to nationalize it and open up it's books, but not abolish it.
