Thread: Chrysler, GM discuss merger, acquisition

I guess the way I look at it, dump it all on the US Attorney Generals' office and set a precedent by convicting those who broke the law. Send the rest of the bums home and let them get a real job like the rest of us..... Then, lets get some financial people in there running things who actually know how to run a company--if the government ran like a profitable company wouldn't life be great??? Get some folks in congress who'll just do what has to be done and not just talk the talk, but walk the walk, too.... If that means ending a couple thousand federal jobs, and trimming things back by deleting all the bs the feds are involved in, that'd just be a bonus......

I agree on the performance evaluation as a tool----but these clowns haven't performed, just give 'em a pink slip an send them home...

As an employer, if the same clowns kept making the same mistakes, would you have really wasted a lot of time evaluating their performance, or just had their stuff put in a box and escort them to the street???? We would waste years evaluating and seeing who's good and who's bad, what's left of the middle class can't afford to wait.... I still say get rid of every incumbant, forget party affiliation and/or don't vote in anyone who mentions it, and get some people in congress (for their LIMITED TERM) and get the country back to work....

Nothing wrong with the logic and at times obvious affiliation Don presented. It just doesn't work. Period... When the system is broke beyond repair, then ya got to start over. Desparate times call for desparate measures...Can't remember who said that but credit them with it.... Keep things going along the lines of the status quo and shortly there will be no US (and maybe global) economic plan to fix as there will be no US economy......

This really does deserve a watch.........

I really believe this to be the root cause of the problems.

Everyone screaming socialism is soft pedalling the facts.

The govt is buying out the banks, which effectively puts the government owning... EVERYTHING.

That ain't socialism folks, that's COMMUNISM.

There was a time in this country when socialism was bad, and communism was evil. Now the sheeple will bend over backwards to accomodate the government intervention in ever aspect of their life, so long as they are allowed to continue their 'quality' of life.

This country's only hope is for ten million Americans to show up on the whitehouse lawn and 'vote out' the whole mess of them.

Thank God for the second ammendment.

Chevy has been setting on about 3 times more inventory than they should have for a couple years. Then came easy credit and long terms to move the cars. Now with the economy in the toilet a lot of people will be loosing those late models they are hopelessly upside down in, the market will be flooded with used late models, prices will plummet. Then a ripple effect will wash through the showrooms.
Even bigger than the car companies, consider that our government and our citizens have been spending money that doesn't even exist. Every time the economy dips, they cut loose more credit so people can spend more money they haven't even earned or produced. Most of us have debt and we are part of the problem too, it isn't all finger pointing to government. We as the people have chosen to allow our manufacturing to go overseas, we have chosen to make incredibly poor investments and use credit to do it (as in buying new cars, bigger homes, even worse, recreational items like boats and 4 wheelers) In short the American consumer has been living well beyond their means for several decades. At some point that bubble has to pop. I think the time is here. But I don't see it as a bad thing.
