If you can't run your company to profit, you need to shut down, not be bailed out.

I pretty much agree when it comes to bailing out auto companies, but I disagree with respect to TARP. Had the government let all the banks fail, new ones would not have sprouted up in their place overnight. We were facing a massive, massive meltdown that even ardent free marketeers (e.g., Paulson) agreed necessitated the stimulus spending and investments.

But not ALL banks needed bailouts...there would be several in line that would have benefited from those banks going under. If ALL the banks would fail, I would agree with you, but it wasn't ALL banks. There are still plenty of banks that have a quality way of doing business.

The Trouble With Trillions - FOXNews.com

Not trying to restart the debate here, just found this funny. Wasn't the title of the article a Star Trek episode....LOL (yes it's late in the day and I know it was Tribbles).

LOL. This is basically how all of your posts have been since Obama took office. You should just put it in your sig and save some time.

I was really just posting this because I thought the name of the article was funny and it reminded me of the Star Trek episode which was also funny. I didn't even read the article. We've been 'round & 'round about this already.

No, but I remember when I was growing up and coming home from school and watching Star Trek re-runs on either channel 5 or 20 up in the DC area. I always liked the Tribble episode.

Well, the deficit wouldn't be as bad if we weren't borrowing money from the Chinese to pay Halliburton. It's not like the troops saw any increase in pay when the previous administration spent 1 billion dollars a day on the war in Iraq. Plus, SS please stop misreading the deficit numbers. Bush didn't count the war toward the deficit and Obama is counting the War toward deficit. In reality not as big a difference. Nobody's falling for that. The agenda goes forward, if you don't like then start a revolution.
