Nancy Pelosi, 4:47 PM: “We think it is possible that we will have a viable automotive industry by March 31.”
From the draft bill –
(A) stimulates manufacturing and sales of
automobiles produced by automobile manufac
turers in the United States;(B) enhances the ability and the capacity
of the domestic automobile industry to pursue
the timely and aggressive production of energy
efficient advanced technology vehicles;(C) preserves and promotes the jobs of
355,000 workers in the United States directly
employed by the automobile industry and an
additional 4,500,000 workers in the United
States employed in related industries;(D) safeguards the ability of the domestic
automobile industry to provide retirement and
health care benefits for 1,000,000 retirees and
their dependents; and(E) results in a viable and competitive do
mestic automobile industry that minimizes ad
verse effects on the environment.
Funny, but I don’t see anything in this that’ll create a “viable automotive industry” in three months. Maybe I missed something? How do you incentivize consumers to buy cars they don’t have the credit for and can’t afford by motivating the auto manufacturers to produce cars consumers don’t want? Not to mention, the bill specifically denies participants from paying dividends on stock ownership. Another 25 billion down the rabbit hole.

Paulson’s statement “Institutions Must Be Allowed To Fail” is in reality an implicit admission the Fed is powerless to stop a credit implosion whether the Fed wants to do something about it or not. We have finally reached the point at which the mess is too big to bail. All that remains at this point is the final numbers on how much taxpayers have to cough up when Congress foolishly tries to make water run uphill.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
—Mark Twain, 1857
