GM and Chrysler took bailout money with strings attached. Government stock ownership, pay the money back, bankruptcy, etc. Banks got their money with no strings attached.
GDI you guys are thick. Who decided not to put any strings on it? THE GOV. If what you are saying is true, then the banks made the terms of the bailout, which AGAIN, is a failure of your elected leaders as they should have made the terms. BUT, if I could negotitate my own bailout package I would give myself 1 trillion dollars, if the government accepted that and gave it to me would you be mad at me or the government? YOU BETTER FUKN SAY THE GOV. CUZ WHY WOULDN'T I TAKE THAT SHIT?
The banks should all be bankrupt, all executives should have been fired, etc... we all agree on this. But what you guys are totally missing is that the government made the terms, didn't put strings on it for the banks, etc... AND FUCKED YOU BY THEIR LACK OF INTELLIGENCE. VOTE BETTER NEXT TIME, put people in office that won't freely hand out your money, BE MAD AT THEM AND DEMAND ACTION instead of buying their spin sold to you every day on the news. Everything on the news is manipulated by the government, they have masked their total failure by blaming it on everyone else and people believe the news word for word. Look at all the other government run programs, ideas, etc.. They are all shit and end up like Social Security, Medicaid, etc.. The only program in perfect standing is their own pension plan that pays them their current salary FOR LIFE after leaving office, because thats the only one they ACTUALLY care about.
