Yeah and that touches no where near the 700billion+ that financial industry has received. The auto industry is something we can all understand so there fore we complain much more openly about it and give it more attention. Few of us know enough about the industry really screwing us over

He hasnt been in office 5 months yet. I think we're exaggerating a little bit over that. In the end, thats more of an ideological difference rather then legitimate. I think the financial industry deserve a little more outrage then the govt and auto execs. They lied to us for years and stole billions of our 401ks and invested money we earned and are still walking freely among us and are still trying to steal more.

Other countries are lucky and have bombs dropped on them night after night and countless citizens are murdered by militant soldiers while their govt tells them to **** off. Please, our govt is too unproductive to collectively screw us. You give them too much credit.

The 700B given to banks is actually going to do something. The 100B that we will end up giving the automakers will never be seen again in any form. Obama is throwing OUR money away because he doesn't know what else to do.

I think you meant to say incompetent, not unproductive.

It is our government's incompetence that has screwed us. Our fate will be far worse than those other countries you speak of.

The dems had to throw more money at the car companies so that they could claim that they 'tried' to help the union employees. The don't care that the money is gone, it is not theirs, it is ours. That is the best kind of bribe/vote money, it costs them nothing.

Oh, You mean the 700billion that was asked for with no strings attached and with no oversight. Kinda like the stock we were given and told by the banks that they were solid investments that would get us our money back then we found out that they lied to us and were only worth 65% and declining of what we were told they were worth. They did something with it alright, like take and blow it on bathroom remodeling and bonuses for a job terribly done.

Somehow I bet your opinion of all this would be polar opposite if a rep. was in office doing the same thing

The Dems and Reps are overall the same. The finger pointing at the other party is just their so we think the other party is to blame, when in reality its a diversion to keep all of their power grabbing under cover. They may not go into this aware of fact, but the end result is the same!

Oh please don't start with that B.S. do you even read some of the bills being presented to the house by dems and repub's alike? Bills supporting a socialist agenda and nation by the Obama administration? Clowns like Pelosi, or do you only read the main stream leftist media that only shows one side of the story? This government has gone unchecked too long with no consequences it is time for a real change, and nothing any of the criminals in office could ever provide. I did not vote for ANY of the bailouts, nor obama. I'm pretty certain that our representatives still work for us the citizens, however they seem to make decisions against what the citizens want and with no consequence.

Oh yes, Canada and U.K. are just such socialist tyrannical countries. I mean not a day goes by where the people arent out protesting their socialist health care and flocking to the U.S. to get away from it. You say its a socialist agenda and yet the majority of the country disagrees. You have never lived under a socialist govt so you are highly unqualified to judge that.

So if youre so anti-socialist then you better call your family and make sure they know your not allowed to use Social Security nor are any of you allowed to use medicaid, or unemployment. And remember no calling the police or Fire dept, us mail, or using public schools. These are all socialist and if you truly want to combat socialism then you are no longer allowed to use these socialist programs

No they are not socialist programs. Why don't you re-read my post before you start spewing garbage. If you think that our government especially the Obama administration is the greatest thing that ever hit the United states, you are sadly mistaken and only another part of the problem. I guess you give up on requiring our government to follow the constitution then too?

edit: And while you are at it, why don't you ask some canadians how their great socialistic health care works? Everyone single person I've talked to absolutely hates it.
