IF, all these things weren’t true — we MIGHT have a reason to bail them out, but;
1) We just bailed out the fat cat robber barons on wall street. Hey, ask Goldman Sacks — those are the richest deadbeats on the planet.
2) After they get Union concessions and the Fed’s funny money and cash the check, THEN they will determine that it just wasn’t enough.
3) These automakers have one foot in China and another half foot of good white man meat in Mexico. They haven’t been US companies for about 6 years now. And Mexico wants to know if they are getting child support.
4) I’d go for a bail out if the Big Three fire their entire management for being assholes who didn’t improve mileage, sex appeal, and the reliability of their product. There are only so many people who don’t read Consumer Reports, and THOSE people, have already tapped out the mortgage as money machine. So wait in line fellas.
5) We are going to need that money to bring troops home from military bases, when people stop accepting US dollars and they get hungry. OK, maybe our government will just close the bases and just say; “Private First Class Davis who?” Yeah, that sounds a lot more authentic.
6) We already gave to the war contractors who failed to deliver — why should you be MORE special than them?
7) That unemployment won’t budge our fantasy unemployment stat, so it is really healthy that more people clue into the fact that our government fucking lies about everything.
I would have been worried if China wanted to buy you a year ago. Now I’m just grateful that they will have something to drive on the roads that the country of Spain is going to own. So, the Chinese executives are going to pay through the nose — just hope you land on “free parking” suckers and don’t roll too many doubles.
9) If we don’t let the Chinese buy this industry, they are going to stop purchasing US dollars. Since they’ve lost faith in ever getting paid back — allowing them the allusion that they can actually own these companies will keep the gravy running a few more months. But really once they “OWN” GM or Ford, they can use the money to close up shop here and open their plants in China under a different name — THEN bury the Chinese owned American companies by selling American owned Chinese cars built at $3 an hour. Yeah, American know how FTW bitches! Start lobbying congress for tariffs now, so that you can protect the price of your American owned companies. I’m sure all that intellectual property that Chevy has on cup holders will be worth it.
10) The Shadow Government is going to need the money to keep their operations in the shade. Sorry, all non-essential ponzi schemes are going to have to make way for the really huge, non-essential ponzi schemes.
11) My “Buy American” lapel pin costs $3.99 at WalMart and it was made in China. I’m feeling kind of conflicted.
