We can appropriate funds for that bottomless pit that has NOT ONE BENEFIT to America but we cannot LOAN, I REPEAT LOAN 2.5 months worth of Iraq funds to save at least 1 million jobs and the last of our very scarce industry????????????

2. Excellent point! That should be disseminated to the public.
Trillions for a pointless war. Billions for bankers. Not one penny for the American worker.

3. who says the money will 'save' the industry or preserve the jobs?
They didn't do much with the last $25 billion

*Congress* didn't put any significant requirements on the money that the automakers would actually create or hold jobs.

All I hear is that workers will have to sacrifice, even with the bailout.

(foggy, under the weather today)

5. yup....i`ve been listening to big ed today
he`s the only guy who is for the working gals and guys in the usa.
congratulated the new senator from Alaska ,had on the house whip---republicans are killing this loan because they lost the rust belt--and he`s doing a great job of putting the right wingers in their place. 25 billion for a couple of months in iraq-zero to loan the big three so workers around the world can still have jobs.

the part my daughter assembles has parts from 5 different countries and is used in cars made in usa,germany,mexico,and japan.

remember the reagan democratics...they are back!
