So GM gets a $45 billion dollar tax break and the unemployed get $0
Edited on Thu Nov-18-10 02:27 PM by Crazy Dave
Can you imagine how great it must be to be a corporate board member of GM right now? I'll bet no one on the board gets a Christmas bonus less than $6 million dollars.

As for the unemployed right now...the current dem majority just said f**k you for not helping them keep their jobs.

10. So when exactly did Congress
run on a "change" platform?

Or are you referring to a campaign not associated with Congress in which case your sarcasm may be misplaced?

2. It was fast tracked. Needed 2/3rds. We don't have 2/3rds.
How many Dems voted against it?

3. Aren't we supposed to know the number of votes
in advance so arms can be twisted before something comes up on a fast track?

6. Times running out. Had no choice. Maybe they believed in the goodness
in people hearts?

Who knows. Either way 12 people I know may be losing their homes.

4. Don't know yet but I'm sure there were a few
You can always count on the Blue Dogs and other "moderate" dems to go along with the republicans 99% of the time.

DINO's, democrats in name only.
