That point, although valid, had nothing to do with why I posted this information on GM in this particular thread and wasn’t relevant to the point I’m making.
What? That you're Japanese? Or that you hate American auto companies? Of course, it may not be either, since your intention is to "not make Obama look bad".
That point, although valid, had nothing to do with why I posted this information on GM in this particular thread and wasn’t relevant to the point I’m making. I want you to think about what you think my point is and why I posted it in this thread.
Oh. I knew where you're going with this. You're trying to tell us that Obama was a venture capitalist who bought and sold companies and enjoyed firing the workers, just like Mitt!
Except he didn't. #1, the majority of the bailout came from Bush, Obama just added to it out of TARP, secondly, many of the companies Mitt fucked over (well, actually the employees he enjoyed firing) just ceased to exist, and thirdly, in your desire to "make Obama look good", you don't mention anything at all about the benefits of the bailout; like how many jobs it
saved. That's "more than 1 million jobs in the car industry, supply chain, and communities where auto workers spend their paychecks".
Nor do you make mention of the fact that upon emerging from bankruptcy, GM added 45,000 jobs. I believe that's 15k more than were
lost. See page 4.
Not to mention my earlier post about the booming auto business last year, projected to boom even more this year.
So, unfortunately, the dessimation of the auto industry didn't happen. Unlike the dessimation of thousands of lives of folks fired by Mitt and his greedy partners.
Your point? FAIL!
