As they should. Someone has to pay for the roads. Who better than the users?

Who better to pay for the roads? I see it this way.
The municipal governments pay for maintaining
the roads, then they put another chunk of money
into trying to set up urban mass-transit. They've
got it all wrong. They are subsidizing the oil
companies by repairing the roads that are being
used by their customers. Let the oil companies pay
for the roads.

...and who pays for the oil?

And hey, the U.S. owns about 40% of GM, let GM
be turning out cablecars.

Spoken like a true socialist Obamanut.-

obama did a good thing keeping GM in america.

Funny how Obama gets all the credit. It was actually Bush who
instituted the $787 bil TARP
program and made the first loans in Dec 08 to GM and Chrysler. Why
do I get the feeling that had GM
gone down the tubes, you'd be reminding us of that part.



in a total collapse its assets would of been bought by china, and all
parts and final assembly would of been moved to china. *all those
american jobs gone forever.

all that would remain here would of been some large parts warehouses.

GM is paying the money back.

without obama unemployment today would be about 25% just like the
great depression.....

Again, it was under Bush that the $787bil TARP program was initiated
that
provided mostly loans, but also equity investments to wall street, GM,
Chrysler.
Most of that money has now been paid back and it's estimated by the
govt that at most
$80bil is still at risk. Meaning that's the most it will cost
taxpayers and it in fact
could be a profit.

Obama and the Dems on the other hand, pushed through
another $800bil+ stimulus that was money that was never to be
repaid. Unless
you subscribe to the newly created economic statistic of "jobs saved",
which of course
is any number you want to make it.
