You mean capitalism would have saved those suppliers and Ford? I doubt you get many on the left to believe that.

Well, now old Harry is probably right, the auto bailout did at least help Ford. A lot of people who were so against Goverment Motors decided to purchase a Ford instead of a GM or Dodge. So it did help Ford's bottom line.

Hey, just had a brain flash. There is a good reason Reid and all those other soon-to-be-unemployed Dems are fighting so hard to extend unemployment benefits...

When you can't find any good news from what you are doing, you will go claim that other good news was due to you... EPIC FAIL...
