How Stupid Are We?

[StevieD]

this really the way government is supposed to work?

The GWB administration gave a $25 BILLION dollar loan to the freakin US auto companies to allow them to retool their factories for better fuel efficient cars.

Holy CRAP!

Why didn't the US auto idiots retool a decade ago when they saw the Japanese doing it?

Why did they keep on making (and selling to idiots) big SUVs and MiniVans and pick up trucks? DUH???

So now that they were stupid... we have to bail them out and HOPE they survive long enough to pay us back... for something they should have accomplished years ago?

HOW STUPID ARE WE?

Are we so stupid that we are so willing to reward incompetence???


think about it... you take that $25 BILLION and give it to 1 Million middle class tax payers... requiring them each to spend $25,000 on a fuel efficient car.

they can use is on a down payment for a $50,000 Tesla that is pure electric... or buy a hybrid outright like a Prius...

think about the effect on the economy... when oil and gas prices drop from the reduced consumption of 1 MILLION cars on the US roads... cars that give 45 MPGs or better.

holy crap... Ford is currently making a diesel car that get 65 MPGs but they wont sell it in the US because there "isn't a market for it?"

Ford doesn't need the money... they already make these very efficient diesels... free money?


How stupid are we?

I guess you are pretty stupid if you believe Al Gore and his fictional Man Made Global warming.

Stevie do you think this loan had a stipulation in it to keep the company in America or do they just take our money and set up shop in another country? Funny after the debate i saw Ralph Nadar say who won and who lost meaning who won or lost in the country. One thing he said was the state of Ga lost but the country of Georgia won because both McCain and Obama want to give them 1 billion in aid. Just hysterical the way they spend our money
