Since the American taxpayers do not seem to mind buying imports that are
totally made in counties that do not have all of the restriction placed upon
their manufactures like in this county, to save money why would they object
to US manufacturers doing the same to save money?   If US manufacturers do
what the taxpaying consumer are doing, they can sell for less money as well.
That will preserve some US jobs that would otherwise be lost to offshore
manufacturers.   Look at the millions of taxpayer dollars going to foreign
manufactures like Toyota, Honda, BMW etal over the past ten years or  more,
that only assemble stuff in the US of mostly imported parts and materials to
create or preserve those jobs, and nobody seems to object.

First off, the bailouts never had anything to do with middle class jobs.
Right from the onset it was about funneling taxpayer debt money into private
equity and certain bond holders and other "special interest" parties and
friends of Obama, congress and the senate.  Government was more worried
about Cerberus and Carlyle.

In fact to this day, there does not seem to exist an accountability and
detailed record on where the huge sum of bailout moneys actually went.  We
know it went to GM, but where after that?  $70B so far, where did it go?
Specifically where did it go after it was in GM's account?  Senate and
congress don't ask, maybe they don't want the public to know.  Maybe they
don't want to know.

Hopefully enough people know and someday the real truth will leak out.

And the jobs were gone years ago.  GM was allowed to operate fraudulantly
for far too long, SEC, banks, board of directors should have stopped the
charade many years ago.  It was even known on the street some 4-5 years ago
Carlyle and Cerberus were striping GM & Chrysler of the good parts,
packaging the rest into a needy corporate care package.  Chrysler
purportedly by its own word had $11B in cash at the end of October 2008 to
buy GM with.  Trouble is, no one has seen the money since.

Even judges involved with GM bankruptcy have done things they never would
have otherwise, which makes one think this corruption certainly is involved
in ways they don't want us to know.

People might want to hold their senator, congress person or MP accountable
next time they vote.  And 2010 in the US is a magical time to send a few
politicians packing.  Which is why the rehtoric of getting out of bailouts
is arising from congress.  Now that whatever dirty tricks were pulled are
over, they want to close the books on GM.  But Americans need to rememebr
their behavior today and not their BS tomorrow.

How much money do you donate to the campaigns of your elected
representatives?

How much do the large corporations donate to these campaigns?

Who are they going to listen to? You or the people buying off congress?

Sorry, that is the way it works.

I read somewhere that if a group wants to influence a decision in congress,
to costs somewhere around 60 million dollars.

So I think we need a "We the People" special interest group!

Another thing "We the People" can do is buy stock in TV news corporations.
People are sheep and do as they are told on TV.

Discuss this at your union meeting! That would sure shake things up in this
country if a union was to buy a TV network!
