I'm positive there are good people with deep pockets, but at this point there really isn't much they could do if they are not politically involved already. They most likely donate to charities and support/assist local needs. I hope I did not offend. Yep, the corrupt of the top 5%.

Dealerships here in Tampa Fl are closing all over, the TV adds they run show desperation. Now would be a great time to loan money to a startup that wants to make car parts (HERE IN THE USA). :-)I honestly beleive that either there should have been 0 bailouts or the american taxpayer should have recieved every penny of that worthless printed money. If for no other reason to make them "feel" better.WE CANNOT FIX BAD CREDIT WITH MORE CREDIT! Period. I have personally done this with cash advances from my bank and what happens is that you run it until it puts you completely down. Then you have to start over without it and manage your finances better. I would never claim that I am perfect or always make the right move especially with money, but these are "supposedly" our well educated and responsible leaders. Living within our means, all of us. That is what we need our leadership to do. It would be rough for a while, but our children and grandchildren would not be paying off trillions of dollars in bailouts with their taxes.Ah well, we all see where it's headed. Just take care of yourselves and your neighbors and watch the parade of greed march by until it destroys itself. Then we can start over and hopefully return this country to its' ideas and follow our constitution the way it was meant to be.God bless Well, now we are in the new year and although I have not seen the Big 3 ask for another bailout, the credit freeze is killing them anyway.

The president talked a lot about transparency, but he must have meant transparency AFTER the Stimulus was signed into law? Is that even legal?Thanks in advance for your help/Kevin in So.

When you add up all the contractually-obligated payments they have to make to employees, retirees, suppliers, bondholders and so on, there just isn’t enough cash to go around. If they could escape these prior commitments and manage themselves more intelligently, there are profitable operating companies buried in there, but they are trapped underneath the absolute size of the commitments they have made. Everybody is either better off or no worse off if this happens. These companies have a solvency problem, not just a liquidity problem.

AND AS FOR OUR PARTY SYSTEM, WE NEED TO GET RID OF BOTH PARTIES AND START OVER AGAIN. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN READY FOR AN ALTERNATIVE FOR A LONG TIME, SINCE CLINTON GOT ELECTED AND THAT OTHER GUY(CAN'T THINK OF HIS NAME) MADE EVERYONE AFRAID TO VOTE ANOTHER PARTY FOR FEAR THEIR VOTE WOULD BE LOST, ALTHO LOOKING BACK ON IT NOW, I DO NOT SEE WHAT DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE MADE, AS U SAY REP/DEM-THE SAME.

This is the CNN headline of the new article designed to scare Americans into supporting a bail out deal! The fact is, Chrysler is simply extending its normal 2-week holiday shut-down by an additional 2 weeks, in large part due to reduced customers who can't get credit to buy their cars.Can you believe the level of biased slant coming from CNN to bilk the taxpayer?? Just incredible! “Chrysler shuts down all production”… This is the CNN headline of the new article designed to scare Americans into supporting a bail out deal!

Tough times, serious ones, are coming, and the democrats that everyone voted in to the White House and to Congress will not only not help, but will prolong the tough times. Thanks to a useless, and possibly corrupt mainstream media in the USA, American voters thought their only options were Bush-style Republicans or Obama-led Democrats, and they were thrilled to vote out the Bushies. But the honeymoon will soon be over when they realize that Bush Repubs or Obama Dems - six and one half dozen of the other.Simply put, we NEED alternative media, so we can get a strong third party in America. CNN, Fox News, and all the rest of the corporate junk media will never allow us to escape the prison of the Democrat/Republican structure.Rob, and thank you for the suggestion about our neighbors. You're right, it will come down to that I think, and I do think we'll make it through the tough times, if enough people can manage to turn OFF their CNN to avoid panicking in the streets.
