I am originally from suburban Detroit. It's a mess in the city. I would not spend $1 for a whole city block. Many people in Detroit don't even bother selling their homes. They just leave them if they move.
My representative doesn't care what I say. I called her til I was blue in the face on the bank bailout. She doesn't represent me. She lies to her constituents too. We have no power over her, because she doesn't give a shit what we think. And why should she? Her district keeps re-electing...
I am againt bailouts of any private company. That said, I do think that if the auto companies go under, it would be disastrous, especially for places like Michigan. I think the auto companies have been enormously mismanaged, and I don't think a bailout is going to fix their problems in the...

Hell, if I could take some government bailout at this point I would! This whole year everyone who has made mistakes has been getting free money from me and everyone else who did the right thing. So if there was something I could get bailed out for I would take it in a heartbeat. I'd be...
I worked 60 hours a week over the summer and spent hardly any of it, so that I could pay my tuition ths year with the money I earned. Oooops. I guess I should have used the money to go on a wild vacation to Hawaii so the government could pay it off for me now. My smart decisions are always...
I know that Ford requires their CEO to travel by private jet for security purposes. The other ones probably do too.
Nevertheless, this certainly doesn't look too good, and I doubt it will help their cause any... Symbolically, it's kinda funny. Flying by private jet to Washington to ask for a...
