Here's the quote from Fox news concerning the auto makers "crying for money" that I think says SOMEONE IS USING COMMON SENSE FINALLY!!! [i]"Companies fail everyday and others take their place. I think this is a road we should not go down," said Shelby, the senior Republican on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. "They're not building the right products," he said. "They've got good workers but I don't believe they've got good management. They don't innovate. They're a dinosaur in a sense." Added Kyl, the Senate's second-ranking Republican: "Just giving them $25 billion doesn't change anything. It just puts off for six months or so the day of reckoning."[/i] My husband and I are specialty contractors... I'm sure you all know and feel the stagnation of the new home/construction markets so I won't cry to you. This type of thinking as stated above is right on time. I am so sick of people and businesses screwing up and then crying to the government for money. No bank or government agency EVER helped us out when we were in trouble. Not even when we had an excellent opportunity for expansion, no real troubles except for operating capitol. The SBA(a government organized agency) said we couldn't "jump through enough hoops" to qualify. I'll tell you we did it anyway, and they were crazy not to help us! After that fiasco, we always went to private individuals for help, got it, and paid them back with interest. That's why I say they are crazy SO, now we are almost dead in the water while the government hands out billions to the giants! And those billions they are handing out will be paid for by the Americans who pay taxes. What kind of crap is that?? Isn't the government supposed to GOVERN? I didn't know they were "the experts" in running businesses and I sure didn't vote for a company when I went to the poles in November! I'm sick of them spending money at our expense and I believe they should simply "let the chips fall where they may"!!! I have the feeling that these bailouts aren't going to stop anytime soon and won't include small time, mom and pop businesses like ours. Thanks for reading my rant, feel free to add your own.
