My idea of nationalization is not giving more unconstitutional money and control to the private Federal Reserve. This is just an even more screwed up version of no-cost privatization, shifting public funds over to another group of organized criminals. There is no legitimate excuse for this theft that does nothing to improve the situation for citizens or the country.

It looks like there is nothing left of justice or common sense in America, and organized criminal gangsters have taken over the federal government. Maybe if all the scum go into their underground bunkers we can seal them up permanently, and start over.

This is the end of the USA. We need to stand up and wake the fuck up and revolt when our tax bills go through the rooves supporting these perverted politicians and there pablum spewing statements. We no longer have faith in their words. As for you, the gov’t. snoops on this forum, we will prevail. We outnumber you and we will drag you out and string you up like the cattle that you are and gut you like pigs! Be afraid you scum! We will defend ourselves. We know that you are stripping us of our wealth through NAFTA and other treaties behind our backs. You think you are American but you are only brainwashed robots doing what you are told by the golalist New World Ordrer quisilings that command you, but you will be crushed by our fury. We are many and are awakening slowly but steadily. Be very afraid!

Think not that the rich elites don’t know what they are doing. They just had to put on a show to make it look good.

The BIG three is making a way for future slavery. They are breaking it down now. It will take 10 years or better to get a raise from the minumal wage. They will cap that wage off to a person not making any more then 17.00 per hour. This way when workers retire with a pension, their pension will not be in the ranks of the pensions that retirees are now currently getting.

Afterall, to the average worker, a hotdog is better then dogfood.

Our Government has killed our economy, not the automakers.

After years of mismanagement the Big 3 automotive manufactures received a rejection of their request for help.
I cannot help but notice that this request was for only two of the three so I have to assume that Ford has been able to find some alternative solution.
The fact is that the automotives that have been made and sold to the American public have been over priced, impractical junk for many years. There has not really been a good vehicle manufactured since the end of World War 2.
Just look at the history of the car industry. In the 50’and 60’s there was the flamboyant designs that must have been a design and repair nightmare. The suspension was so soft that at speeds in excess of 80 mph the car was in real danger of becoming airborne. On a trip longer than a few hundred miles the occupants became seasick as the car floated along the roads. Also the size was so large that these cars could not be driven on most roads within Europe. This restricted the possibility of an export market.
When the Japanese and European manufactures began to export to the American market how did the Big 3 respond? They had quotas introduced. They did nothing to meet this new threat to they market share. It was business as usual. The Japanese and European makers simply got around the quotas by building there own assembly plants.
While the overseas makers were moving to more economical motors the Big 3 continued to install their traditional V8 motors. Vastly over-powered for most situations. Who needs a motor that is capable of towing a load of 10 ton just for the daily commute and uses half a gallon of fuel before you have left the garage? The average V8 motor installed in the family sedan is only marginally smaller than that used in 10 ton truck. In some cases these are the same size.
Enter the SUV. Designed as a family sedan but with a very restricted carrying capacity and with four wheel drive and a two speed differential. Although some are only two wheel drive. These were promoted as the must have vehicle. Safety of the occupants was the catch cry even after one model had a bad habit of falling over because of the fitting with the wrong sort of tires. The really crazy thing was that even after the bad publicity of that design feature sales went through the roof the next years.
All attempts to mandate improved fuel economy has been met with stiff opposition. This resulted in some strange concepts. One was that the motor turns off half the cylinders when cruising.
The only real attempt at innovation was Ford making an all electric car, but this was scrapped for some reason and all the cars recalled to be crushed.
About 25 years ago Chrysler were in the same situation as it is today and begged for Government help. That year it paid its CEO a bonus equal to twice that loss if I remember it correctly. That time they did get help and have paid it back.
I have read that last year, out of 16 million cars sold within the USA, GM sold about 5 million cars but made over 100 million.
My final question is how can a corporation that has a income of over $108billion not make a profit?
