Thats why I’m a Michigan fan.

“On Friday I was in Washington for a meeting with administration officials,” Mr. Wagoner said in a statement released by GM. “In the course of that meeting, they requested that I ‘step aside’ as CEO of GM, and so I have.”

Basically, I’m against nationalization, and I’m also against the government PRINTING more money to pay for all these bailouts. The more money the print to help these ass’s out, the less our money is worth. Hey, I hated Bush just as much as I hate Obama, Bush put this country in debt, and Obama, by the time he’s in office for 20 months and 11 days will have added 3 trillion more dollars to our debt. How much did GWB put on in his 8 years? 2.3 trillion. I guess doing in 20 months what it took GWB to do in 8 years defines clutch as PK would say

A lot of the defenders of the status quo seem to think that it makes perfect sense for them to get all the credit and ridiculous amounts of profits when things are going well, but as soon as it falls to shit, they can come crying to the government for help and expect nothing in return.

Sorry, champ. If you come begging to the government for a handout, you shouldn’t be allowed to keep blowing government money on million-dollar bathrooms and corporate ski trips to Vail. I’m sorry if demanding some kind of responsibility violates the sacred tenets of the Almighty Free Market, but so does getting on your knees and begging Uncle Sam for cash.

If a friend comes to you for money, shit, if ANYBODY comes to you for money, you ought to be able to dictate some terms. If the person doesn’t want to accept said terms, then I guess they really didn’t need the money that bad.

You also have a problem with the facts. The president didn’t fire him — he made his resignation a condition of getting a third giant bailout from the government. If GM didn’t want the money, or the previous pile of money, or the previous pile of money, they could have truly remained a PRIVATELY owned company and figured this out for their damn selves. Instead, they kept coming and begging for more taxpayer money, and the president said, hey, if you want that, you need to make some changes.

This wasn’t Obama barging in on Apple and shitcanning Steve Jobs. They want our money, they need to make some changes. If they’re not willing to make some changes, fine — but don’t expect our money.

Who let Scrooge McDuck in here? Who the fuck refers to themselves as “a capitalist”?
