US seeks 300 billion dollars from Gulf states: report ...

2.5 Million Worthless Jobs

U.S. auto companies employ nearly a quarter-million workers, and more than 730,000 other people have jobs producing the materials and parts that go into cars. About 1 million on top of that work in dealerships nationwide. If just one of the auto giants were to go belly up, some estimates put U.S. job losses next year as high as 2.5 million. ...

1 million jobs lost at $1,000 is $1 billion dollars.

Isn't $25,000 per job a sound investment?

If 2.5 million jobs are lost, it is $10,000 per job!

Suggestion: Let Wall Street Stock Brokers, Fund Managers, Traders, ... work the production lines at the GM, Ford & Chrysler.

Nothing for 3 million jobs?

$700 Billion Bailout for Wall Street but GOP proposes NOTHING for GM where:

three million people would lose their jobs ...

Still, Bush argued today that government intervention isn't a ``cure-all'' and that the crisis was caused by failures among investors, regulators and governments rather than the free-market model. He said steps taken so far by governments and central banks were thawing credit markets and stabilizing financial conditions, although he acknowledged ``more difficult days ahead.''

Officials overseas have heaped blame on the U.S. and the notion of unfettered markets promoted by Bush for sparking the turbulence. ...

Well Said

``It was interesting to watch him go upstairs,'' Bush said of Obama's visit. ``He wanted to see where his little girls were going to sleep. Clearly, this guy is going to bring a sense of family to the White House, and I hope Laura and I did the same thing. But I believe he will, and I know his girls are on his mind and he wants to make sure that first and foremost, he is a good dad.'' ...

The $54 Trillion Gorilla

As bad as it is, the situation could get far worse. At the House hearing, Rep. Jim Cooper, a more conservative Democrat from Tennessee, brandished a copy of the official Financial Report of the United States Government, which outlines the $54 trillion fiscal gap, primarily unfunded liabilities, ...
