govsucks, well, you do have a point in that I doubt this will actually be deficit neutral, although that is the goal. In my opinion, the Bush tax cuts for the rich need to be repealed, bringing the top tax rate for the top .5% of Americans back to 40%. This investment in our nation's health would more than pay for any potential shortfall, and actually generate savings in the long run (preventative care is FAR more cost efficient than late stage efforts). gdnw, I don't believe any public transportation system anywhere in the world is actually self-sufficient. In Europe, their wonderful public transport systems are paid for in large part through gasoline taxes, which is a really good idea to increase car efficiency and help protect the environment that we all have to live in. I would like to add that even our fully privatized airlines in the US are not self sufficient though. Ever heard of 'business class' fares? Tax write offs are direct corporate welfare to sustain private industry here.

I expected as much, which is basically part of what I said in a reply above. It's incredibly unfortunate as corporate criminals like these only make it tougher for legitimate businesses to secure grants and loans. Essentially, they've stolen taxpayer funds, and are now fleeing the country. I hope somebody goes to jail for this.
Agreed. Its not right!

From people who are perfectly happy to allow it to happen to them. I personally don't gamble but isn't it supposed to be a form of 'entertainment'? Anyone who goes in expecting to win is fooling themselves..
But the "Discouraged Workers" numbers went up too...!

Bush gave them the bailout. Also I am. GM employs tons of people and all of the domestic brands were already improving their quality and producing more desirable vehicles(well not counting chrysler but that's Daimler's fault). The the recession hit and every automaker's sales figures went down the *****(ford was lucky enough to have taken out a bigass loan before the recession hit). Honestly I don't get why the banks get a free pass for all their much bigger bailouts when they were known to spend them more irresponsibly and they caused the recession in the first place. Meanwhile GM continued to pump out newer more competetive(and in some cases class leading) vehicles and people ***** on the brand because they remember the 1992 chevy cavalier or their old ford pintos. GM and Chrysler got a tiny slice of the bailout pie and they have definitely changed since taking the money to put themselves in a better position. The banks took the money and haven't done jack *****.?
Government cannot create jobs. They can steal money from people and create WORK. Work != Jobs.
