Oh, by the way - the 17 billion? It's not a "cost savings" at all as
it turns out. Just on CNBC - it's being "re-directed" to more Obama
friendly proposals. So it's not a "cost savings" but a redirection of
the funds to other projects.

Like I said - you go out to buy $100,000 Mercedes and come back with a
$20,000 Toyota - you "saved" $80,000.



Oh. I get it. Then you give the $80K to Toyota to keep them in
business.

No offense, but I'm getting a kick out of reading the posts of wealthy
retirees whining about funding for programs that might help people without
jobs or about to lose their jobs.


No offense taken. I am entitled to my opinion as to what might help people
without jobs or about to lose them. Government handouts and "make work"
programs are not the answer. Temporary assistance in the form of
unemployment benefits, job training programs and investments/grants for
industry growth are good and will bear fruit.

Giving away $8 billion dollars of taxpayer's money to a dead automotive
company isn't.
