Bailout's On?

I know this will shock everyone, but it appears the 'controlled failure' of GM is more likely than not. Absolutely pisses me off that taxpayer money was dumped into any of these companies. AIG included.

I agree with many of the comments above, but this type of greed doesn't stop at just labor unions. Pro athletes and their contracts/pay checks are beyond ridiculous. Especially considering the whole "banned substance" abuse BS. Its nearly to the point that an above-average athlete can't even compete unless he/she's "enhancing" in some way. (Whatever happened to just being called a druggie?!?) So much for role models...

The only upshot I see to the downturn in the economy is that it may cause a 'correction' in this mess. I love sports just as much as the next guy, but we, the people, need to start turning our backs on ridiculous ticket prices that supports this BS. Without us, they're nothing.

To hell with pro sports. Give me collegiate athletics (but don't even think about charging for conference specific channels cause it ain't gonna happen).

Sounds good to me! There isn't any point to working anymore. All the rich folks and government will pay for all my stuff. But maybe all the rich folks will stop working too! Then the government will run out of money and borrow from China. Oh…wait…that’s already happening….maybe borrow from Pakistan?



Seriously though, I don't think the government should be bailing anybody out. This just opens the door for the government to take control of a company. Obama already fired the CEO of Ford. That's starting to sound pretty socialistic to me.
