Bailout is No Hope or Help

boloview — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:05:26 +0000

The bailout only treats the symptom, not the cause; poor management and control. Funneling billions of dollars in bailout without oversight is absurd. The money will be spent as it already is being done, on nothing to do with investment in growth and job creation. The companies have no incentive to fix what is broke as long as there is the promise of free cash. Two things must be different in the approach to the “fix”.

First the fix must be changed from bailout to loan. Japan has had several so-called bailouts. None have worked. The funds are spent but the economy does not improve. The same is true with America’s venture into socialism; it will fail, it brings no hope, except to the fat-cats already sticking it to Americans. The only ones benefiting from the bailout are the companies themselves; average Americans will see no benefit. The executives of these “poor, hurting” companies still will attend retreats in $1,000 per night spa resorts, and still reap millions in benefits. AIG still spends millions on itself for the benefit of a few executives; still spends millions on marketing to attend Nascar events and MLB, and the like.

America is turning from capitalism to socialism. Instead of bailouts, the US Government’s fix must be low cost loans (to be paid back to the government, thus the American taxpayers), to infuse funds to get the economy going again. If the companies know they must repay the funds with interest rather than get free billions of dollars, they will work hard and invest in their company to create jobs and growth, rather than spend frivolously.

Second, the root cause must be identified and corrected. The cause is poor company management, poor legislation by Congress, and poor product. The companies have been looking through a vibrant colored kaleidoscope, not looking outside of the straight line. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence should have seen the impending explosion caused by providing large loans to customers with no ability to handle such a loan and histories of inability to handle financial responsibility.

Congress has had legislation to tighten up teh mortgage industry, but the Democrat controlled Congress said NO. The Democrats have to get off of the socialism mantra and infuse some personal responsibility into America, long a Republican platform. The Dem’s plan did not and will not work.

The companies have to take responsibility for their product and services. Now GM wants in the game with some free cash. Ford and GM are successful overseas, but fail miserably here in the US. The product here is poor; from fading and chipping paint to ugly design to horrible engine and drive-train design. Instead of giving free cash to the Big 3, again, provide low cost loans to invest in new quality products and in addition, Congress allow foreign built cars and trucks that are successful overseas to be considered as domestic vehicles in the US for mileage and greenhouse standards requirements.

A win-win situation: The US taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill and companies are forced to do the best job they can. Sounds like capitalism to me. Mich better than socialism.

ONE thing is clear

The ONE silver lining is that in 2 years the midterm elections will follow suit to inept Jimmy Carter’s time and the House and Senate will turn Red once again. Then 2 years later ONE-term Obama will be back in Chcago and out of THE House. Obama’s policies will tear down further the moral fabric of our Nation’s founding, destroy the pride and perseverence of our Nation’s work ethic, and in general cause widespread economic failure, as well as weaken our stature in the world, as ONE rogue nation after another will challenge us, while all the ONE will do is meekly oblige.

GOD BLESS AMERICA and please God, watch over our nation as we enter a time of contradiction to belief’s of our founding fathers and the American core the past 232 years.

DISTRIBUTION: THE SOCIALIST’S MANTRA

I am Joe the Plumber. And so are most Americans. You know, we work hard for our money, for our cars, for our home, for our goods, for that family vacation. Obama sees it differently: He sees us working hard for others, to be forced to give away that money, to take away that car, that home, that business, that vacation and give it to some ome who doesn’t feel like working hard. You know, as Obama puts it, “spreading the wealth”.

Let’s see a wealth distribution example: You work hard in college, you spend countless hours hitting the books, studying, researching, and you have a 4.0 GPA. Your roommate, however, he has the 2.0 GPA. He parties, skips class, is very popular, and has a blast in college. What to do, what to do? Well, let’s spread the wealth Obama style! You know, let’s take 1.0 from your 4.0 and give it to your roommate. Thereby, you both have 3.0 GPA’s and fair and equal distribution of GPA.

Ludicrous you say? Tell Obama that message by voting Republican. Protect Americans from Obama’s taxation scheme. Protect your hard work. Protect your assests. Save your hard earned income from being taken from you. Say Nobama.

Obama is not “Present”

Obama states he had no knowledge of Reverend Wright’s radical and dangerous views. Obama states he had no knowledge of Bill Ayer’s past terrorist activities. Obama states Wright was his mentor for 20 years. Obama began his political career in Ayers’ living room.

Obama is one of two things: 1) A liar. 2) An extremely naive, gullible, and clueless dweeb. Either choice makes one thing very clear: Obama is not qualified to be President of the United States. Or Senator.

If Obama is unable to determine that Wright and Ayers are dangerous and unscrupulous characters, how in the world can he determine who our friends and enemies are in a land 1000′s of miles away? Obama is just plain scary. And it seems many of his supporters are just as naive as he is.

Obama’s decision in a time of crisis cannot be “present”.
