Ok, I'm lost. We just gave each of these corporations $25 billion dollars to keep them afloat EVEN while they continued to lay off workers now they want to merge with $50 billion dollars and still close plants and lay off workers.

As you may remember Chrysler was brought by the private equity fund Cerberus Capital Management negotiated by Dan Quayle. Cerberus is under pending Congressional investigation for kickbacks in the privatization and awarding of contracts implicating Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolforitz, several Republican congressional people and key corporate executives. Also, the link to this corruption includes the Carlyle Group in Washington, DC. which include figures such as George H. Bush, Jim Baker and Kissinger. Gotta love Privatization.
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

  • Oh shit!

    These guys are having a grand ole party aren't they? A veritable cornucopia orgy of money from the taxpayers.

    Hell, let's give 'em more tax breaks, why not?

    would you rather have criminals running amuck independently, or within the government paid for by you?

    At least independent criminals get prosecuted, not these smucks.
