Vote no unless we get offshore drilling and a card check ban ,
Wow should we bail out the car companies or not?
seems there are 2 answers to that question? YES and NO
lets look at so far what we did?
bear sterns -bailed out?
FM/FM - Bailed out?
lehmans - NO Bail-out?
Aig - 2 bail-outs?
Some of our complaints?
union costs?
ceo pay?
GM bail out?
some want ceo's removed?
there are no Lee Iacoca's left?
Wonder if we would have had this whole bail out problem if we had 100 Lee
Iacoca's in the senate? or is it time for new blood ,new ideas ,new people
in the senate?
bear sterns -no one at fault?
FM/FM - no one at fault? YET?
lehmans - no one at fault?
Aig - no one at fault?
Seems we all want to lower everyones pay ,but how about congress pay?
I wish I had a job that paid me more than most while I was on vacation?
$50,000 from every member of congress would come to $26,000,000
or over $100,000,000 in 4 short years? Also what would that save in
pensions? Many would love to represent there states at even less than
that? why are we making congress the upper 2% of income workers?
How many people could be helped with that kind of money? Every one wins?
taxpayers work 4 or 5 months now for government,when will we have to work
6 months or more? heck we should move the 4rth of July to the 4th of
Augest? We will still be working for government in july and when might it
be labor day untill we will start working for us?
Now what good is bailing GM out if we will still use other peoples oil to
make gasoline? china is drilling off our coast? will we be buying our oil
from China? Why would it matter if we get 35mpg's or 30mpg's if it is
still non-American oil?
Why should Calif. reap any money from off shore oil? Is it there's?
If any would collect from off shore oil it should be used to pay down the
debt. and not state, How do the inland states collect any money? Seems any
smart thing to do is at the same time we need to vote for off shore
drilling with the same vote? Even if we help GM and others out what good
is it if we still send money OFF SHORE for OFF SHORE OIL!!!!!!
I THINK IF WE TAKE OUR FREIGHT OFF THE ROADS AND ON TO RAIL THE AUTO
COMPANIES COULD MAKE HIGHER MPG'S IN CARS BUT HOW CAN WE BUILD LIGHTER
CARS THAT WILL COMPETE WITH 40 ROLLING TONS ON THE SAME ROADS?
IS THAT LIKE HAVING AN AA MEETING AT THE LOCAL BAR?
COMMON SENSE WOULD BE
TO LOWER CONGRESS PAY,JUST LIKE CEO PAY,
COMMON SENSE WOULD BE
TO USE AMERICAN OIL FOR AMERICAN AUTOS WE BAIL OUT,
VOTE YES FOR DRILLING ,
VOTE YES FOR CARD CHECK BAN
VOTE YES FOR LESS TAXPAYER MONEY FOR HIGH PAY IN ALL AREAS OF GOVERNMENT
p.s vote no on principle write offs ,make them 40 or 50 year loans and let
there kids get a house with debt Its the same if ceos get bailed out or if
homeowners get free money? I make my house payments and i did not get free
money?
