Have they lost their minds?

So, the automakers are asking for a bailout. Nothign wrong with asking. what's the worst that's gonna happen, the government is going to say no?

Well, if you're going to ask for a multi-billion dollar loan, why would you take a private jet from Detroit to Washington? I believe I heard the price was $2,000. WTF?!? A coach ticket was like $200 and a first class ticket was about $600. Those are estimates, but one has to wodner WTF?!?

Are these people insane? Apparently, all the top executives have a private jet. WTF?!? Sell off some of those jets, and that might help some of their finanicla woes. Ugh!

Not sure who is worse, the auto makers and their private jets flying in to ask for money, or the AIG CEOs using the money they got from the bailout to go get pampered.

While they'e bailing folks out

Seems as if the government is bailing any and everyone out who asks, so my question is, why not bail out those of us that have student loans?

At first this came up in a new group that was started on Facebook, but it has been gaining steam since then. I'm not a fan of bailouts, because I see it as a handout, but I do see the logic in bailing out college loan holders.

It costs an arm and a leg to go to college in this country. I went to a small La. university and still had to depend on scholarships, loans, and a grant to pay for my schooling. I wouldn't mind them bailing me out, but I'm not asking for it.

The idea is intriguing, though. Especially since it seems as though the government is helping all but the people.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Disgusting

While I'm getting ready for work in the morning, I catch a bit of Good Morning America. This morning, they and the usual stuff...weather, debate recap, the economy is going to hell and this.

Am I the only one who's totally disgusted by this? These fat cats running AIG have used that government money to take trips and get pampered. And for what? What do they do that entitles them to a pampering? Oh, I know....they drove their company to financial ruin and had to be saved by the government.

I know one thing, if I was a CEO, I'd be more worried about saving my company than running off to a luxury resort...on taxpayer's money, nonetheless!!! How's it feel to know we're paying for these idiots to get the royal treatment?

I don't know about you, but I'm quite disgusted. Not just because I'll probably never be able to afford such a retreat, but because it's my dime they're going on. Someone's head better roll for this. That bailout money wasn't to be used for this. This is like using a student loan check to but nothing but alcohol rather than pay for books and tuition! UGH!
