What's the interest on that defict??

Well, "teabaggers" may but I don't think the Tea Party will.

All I know is that conservatives were rabidly against saving American jobs by bailing out 2 of the Big 3 and have basically been silent when their boy George W. Bush bailed out the banksters.

Conservatives hate the working man, yet they can line up millions of poor, disenfranchised, FOX watching useful idiots to parrot their propaganda.

The problem with bail outs is that we don't really restructure a failing business model. It perpetuates the problem, and pushes it further down the road.

Now, if the rest of the economy is going decently, and Chrysler crashes, should we let them reorganize under bankruptcy? Its likely to happen. But I say don't postpone the inevitable.

Detroits problems are unions that are to large, to high a payment, and then the government keeps floating them along.

Hell, people at Delphi were making over 50 dollars an hour for assembly line work.

Crazy.

Way to let the entire message of the commercial fly over your head. It calls for an end to the "Us vs. Them" crap that's dividing America so we can move forward as a country together.
It's not even subtle in that message, but somehow you missed it.

Nope. They are dropping back and punting. Its why they kept their good candidates off the stage, and its why the guy they want to lose the general, is winning the primary.

Romney isn't a conservative, and he really isn't a conservative. Romney is the sacrificial lamb.

But the fact he and his hit squad mandated that Chrysler's shareholders had their holdings deliberately demolished certainly helps his embellish his radical social-engineering reputation, doesn't it?

He doesn't give a damn about the little guy anyway considering the Wall Street magnates surrounding him, and many of his policies prove it, including ObamaCare & the cash-for-clunkers fiasco.
