Default Good thing we still have an auto industry


GM sold about 25,000 Cruzes last month, vaulting the model past
perennial leaders such as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord to become
the best-selling car in the U.S. Both Toyota and Honda had fewer
models to sell because of parts shortages caused by the March 11
earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Wait a minute...wasn't that a "bad" idea? Wouldn't it have been better
(for the GOP) to toss hundreds of thousands of factory workers out of work?

Yes, it would have saved us from having to pay out pension and
benefits to people who vote for the Democratic party.

And, because they pay taxes, it kept more money flowing into the
federal government, which makes Republicans go crazy!!!

I think it is becoming obvious to the smarter independents that the
Republican game plan is entirely cynical and built upon the idea of
stopping whatever the government can to to encourage employment. The
Republicans think raising the misery index will put them back in the
White House.

On a brighter front, Michele Bachmann is now leading the Iowa GOP caucus
poll. :)

I admire her bravery. I say that as even if I could, I am not sure I
would want to be president next term. It isn't going to take that long
to see a 1932 like bottom again.

Yeah, from the Knuckle head of the North. We're not impressed with

And you have Debbie Wasserman Schultz running your party. Ever listen
to her try to talk? She's a freakin' cartoon character.

But who is going to bail them out this time? At what cost? So far for
what GMs total cost is you have about 40 yer more to go before dollar
recovery, and that is without interest.

Sot of like you must have that baseball, and jump over the railing to
get it....then ooopss...splat goes the economy.

Shifting bank and corrupt auto debts to the taxpayer was always just a
very bad idea.

All auto sales were down. GM just looks better because Toyota and Honda
could not build cars.
