Wait, I forget, is that a compliment coming from Vitter, or was he the one who paid extra to skip the strap-on?
Although I own an automaker’s stock, I oppose the bailout as apparently written.
I oppose having the feds further California’s crazy emission laws, and I oppose any bill that doesn’t force the UAW to make sacrifices equal that it is asking lower-paid Americans to make on its behalf. It ruined its work places, and it can suffer the consequences.
I greatly doubt Ford and GM will go out of biz, and if they do, others will pickup the pieces and hire auto workers.\
Dealers are small business owners. If they made bad decisions in going into a highly competitive business, they should pay for their mistakes as all failed businesses do, not taxpayers.
We’re talking about people who are struggling to survive, the ordinary taxpayer. It is unfair to tax them some more and to increase the national debt just to keep politicians and union leaders in their lucrative jobs.
From Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/opinions…
Chrysler’s owners have the deepest pockets of any of the Big 3. The idea that they need taxpayer funds to stay afloat is ridiculous.
Is this really necessary, or desirable? Are we really fixing a problem, or are we just handing money over to those who give to the politicians, like the bank bailout? Will we just be keeping in business companies who are creating a product in numbers that have absolutely no relation to the number of people who want, or increasingly, can afford to buy them? Will this really help, or just increase the number of unsellable cars sitting in closed shopping mall parking lots in Michigan?
Congress is a pay to play place. The unions have paid and the Democrats are letting them pay.
Not pay. 🙂
This is the hard sauce intended to go with The Plum Pudding.
1/2 pound butter (2 sticks), softened
3 cups confectioners’ sugar (12 ounces)
orange zest , finely grated from 1 orange
*1/2 teaspoon mace
*1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/3 cup brandy or cognac
2 tablespoons cream sherry (or amontillado)
*Note if you are using salted butter you should cut this in half. I always use salted butter because it keeps longer. Though really I don’t need to since butter tends to disappear quickly in my home. Also I tend not to have mace on hand so I’ll use about half the amount of nutmeg with a pinch of allspice to get a similar flavor. If you don’t have brandy you might try bourbon for a different, but very good flavor.
Combine butter, sugar, zest, mace, and salt in large bowl with electric mixer set at low speed; gradually increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is fluffy and looks almost white, 7 to 10 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Combine brandy and sherry in liquid measuring cup. With mixer running, very slowly dribble in spirits until well combined. Turn mixture into airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Bring refrigerated sauce to room temperature before transferring to serving dish or it will separate.
If you wish to flame the pudding (and who doesn’t!) warm 1/4 cup brandy in small saucepan until barely tepid. Drizzle brandy over pudding and then, standing back, ignite with long wooden match or long handle lighter. Cut into wedges and serve with Fluffy Orange-Mace Hard Sauce.
Don’t forget to heat up the pudding again before serving! Traditionally this is done in the same mold as it was made in, but a microwave on 1/4 power works just as well.
He’s paid for more of it than any of us.
This proposal isn’t a bailout; it takes money from the auto industry for fuel efficiency programs and gives it back to them for general expenditures. In effect, it doesn’t even increase the car companies’ budgets.
Of course, one of Bush’s main goals in life is to put up as many obstacles to weaning ourselves from Big Oil as possible, and so long as he’s President, that’s what he and Sen. McConnell will continue to do.
…why is it that the assembly plants owned by foreigners are doing just fine and not lining up for loans?
Oh, better management? More realistic labor costs? I see.
deserving software companies located in Boulder and headed up by eloquent good looking bloggers? Huh? If everyone else gets some…
