Government Motors

Does that suit strutting his stuff on the GM ads disgust you as much as it does me? Notice he talks about how he has paid back the taxpayer money "in full, with interest" - - - and five years early, too? Well, I think he should tell the truth "in full."

We loaned GM what? Somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million, wasn't it? And they've paid back what? Somewhere in the neighborhood of $8 million. Apparently that's all they are required to pay back, so perhaps he's telling the truth "in part." (The rest is in stock - did anyone ask the owners of the money if we wanted stock? No? Not me, either.)

Now here's the thing, if the gummint gave me $100 million, I could pay back $8 million "in full, with interest" - - - the very next day!

So what's the suit strutting about? What's he got to be so arrogant about? Why did he wait so long to pay back a very small portion of the taxpayers' money? Also, don't we at least deserve the truth "in full?" And a "thank you" for the gift of $80 million. But no, Mr. Arrogant Suit doesn't mention that.

No, of course not. The gummint and the suit obviously think we're too stupid to notice the little difference of about $80 million.

They have no respect for the taxpayers.

Rodney Dangerfield, move over. OofDah! A whole bunch of taxpayers are nudging you.
