It is not that they are illiterate: they have horrible sources of news and information and they have therefore lost the ability to gather information and process it critically. We live in a liberal bubble in CA and only a complete collapse is going to re-educate them. Believe me, I've tried. Even at that, I'm sure they will blame conservatives somehow. Sorry, I pray for the best but prepare for the worst. At this point, I'm still fearing the worst given that Obumble is polling above 40 percent. In a rational world he would be down at 15 percent.PD Quighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454197219107241444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208562378103695522.post-24023163264200312422012-08-14T07:09:22.802-04:002012-08-14T07:09:22.802-04:00Ah but at least GM did not go bankrupt /sarcAh but at least GM did not go bankrupt /sarcDEEBEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235176776968497303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208562378103695522.post-64195634720896384302012-08-14T02:16:15.075-04:002012-08-14T02:16:15.075-04:00"auto bailout" means automatic bailout, ..."auto bailout" means automatic bailout, so I don't see why people complain about it.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329483576009124614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208562378103695522.post-21490906402920386722012-08-14T01:48:10.209-04:002012-08-14T01:48:10.209-04:00"Grab the popcorn and beer: our country hangs..."Grab the popcorn and beer: our country hangs in the balance."<br /><br />No. We cannot simply be entertained observers. <br /><br />If these people have their way, life is going to suck for a lot more people than it currently sucks for now. <br /><br />Life will get much better for thieves and liars and beggars and bureaucrats and Motor Vehicle counter workers, and much worse for everyone else.<br /><br />Put down your beer and start educating the politically illiterate.bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05541153566289316156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208562378103695522.post-17701277850637766582012-08-14T01:19:03.869-04:002012-08-14T01:19:03.869-04:00Good point; actually, per the WSJ it was even wors...Good point; actually, per the WSJ it was even worse - NOLs of $19 billion, plus another $26 billion in other carryforwards though I don't know whether the other $26 billion received different treatment than they would have in a normal bankruptcy:<br /><br />http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704462704575590642149103202.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265763278409137263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208562378103695522.post-47174633022032330362012-08-14T01:01:47.321-04:002012-08-14T01:01:47.321-04:00You also forgot to mention the $15 billion tax bre...You also forgot to mention the $15 billion tax break that the administration gave GM by letting it write off carry forward losses.
