You just can't get stonefly out of your head, can you? Is he the new Steve Booth?

Seriously- you guys are all correct.

So, then, why bail out the financial industry? Why not just leave them behind? If that's what they're going to do with the rest of us. Or, would that mean that a few would lose their "golden parachutes"?

The US financial arena is a totally different animal and I would hope you would understand the difference.

Ahhhh... But they're locked away safe and sound in one of the financial institutions, aren't they?

I met some good dock workers at GM and some a**holes. I met a guy who drove a forklift at GM making $75,000 a year. He would spend 15 minutes out of every hour outside at the picnic bench complaining. The plant he worked at closed in 2008.

I heard 14 plants and 21,000 jobs will be cut real soon.

maybe you could haul for government motors, crazy Barry could hook you up.....

When you put government in control of business it is sure to fail. These people can't even balance a budget, yet expect to be able to run two of the largest corporations in the world and be competitive? The only way a free capitalist society can continue to function is to allow companies to fail, regardless of size and to keep government control out. I just read something about how those passengers who were on the airplane that crashed into the Hudson have filed claims and are having a difficult time with AIG, the insurance company for the airline.
