Insight into the greater Republican plan
So, Republicans are filibustering any attempts at discussing a US auto manufacturer bailout. They do not want the topic to even reach the floor to be considered.
Could this be why?
The Republican bailout plan was originally written to have absolutely no oversight. The Democrats at least forced there to be disclosure, by law, of where the money is going. The Bush Administration's response is to simply ignore the law, and dole out the money to unknown parties, refuse to disclose where the money went, and simply state "trust us, it's working". Well, here's one result - US taxpayer money potentially swelling the coffers of foreign insurance companies.
Meanwhile, Bush and the Republicans continue to "salt the earth" on their way out of power, making Obama's job of improving the country all that much harder.

De=value the currency and usher in the Amero?
But, people don't understand how deeply the roots of the auto industry go in this country. Japanese auto makers do not buy parts from mom and pop shops that do not meet their stringent standards. Is that fair? Yes.
They do buy parts from mom and pop shops that are interested in quality and customers, and they will invest time and energy in developing these shops if they will submit to the doctrine toyota requires. Fine, but americans are lazy and stupid, just like we have been accused of and all those lazy and stupid business owners have been selling to the domestics. So, if you're interested in jobs the real question is not who to support but what is your time frame? Short term, it's the domestics. Long term it's free market except there is no free market and the big dollar top line profits are flowing OUT of the US in exchange for some jobs. Even republicans don't like somebody cuting into that sizeable action.
