OMNIA CONFUSIO SUNT

        My last Latin class was in 1953, Introductory Economics was in 1957 so consequently, necessarily and hence  while
        the title may be inaccurate admitting to profound ignorance concerning economics is not.

        $75B to the banks is vast sum by my reckoning. Whose more correct Flaherty or Paulson?

        Is putting tax dollars into banks and the automobile firms as loans or equity the better way?

        Is anybody out there who can express a reasoned opinion?

From: Rubie Britton
Subject: Auto-makers

Unprecedented rape of the American people underway in DC
As I write this column, these thieves in Congress are scurrying to put together unconstitutional loan packages for the auto makers. They won't make it to next year. Who was watching the books for those companies? These mega corporations sold out the American worker decades ago, kicked them into the unemployment lines and gave American jobs to foreign countries like commie China. Now they want the sweat off your back to fund their mistakes. These big auto makers have known for years their losses were in the tens of billions of dollars and could not be sustained...... http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd413.htm
