Eli Broad built his billionaire empire on unfair labor practices as the founder/chairman of KB Home. Do a search on KB Home. He now goes around giving lectures to the corporate rich so they can learn how to do it too. He rapes the poor and teaches the rich how. And they call him a philanthropist?
@kschoeck Hmm. Interesting comment. I never would have noticed that, but now that you mention it, I do hear what you are saying. I looked up Eli Broad, and I looked up Owen Wilson. They did not grow up in the same areas, nor do they have a similar ethnic background. So that just makes it more strange how they talk in that same way.
Tonight (April 24, 2011) "60 Minutes" is doing a piece on Eli Broad. "60 Minutes" has a great website. Watch it there. I feel sure they won't mention Wilson tho.
@yowzephyr Thanks, I'll watch it. It's wierd how they both have that same accent- same lazy twang to their voice. They do the same "uhh" thing too between sentences.
It's just a waste of money because at the end of the day, these companies are not selling enough cars. There isn't enough demand for their products. We should be encouraging innovation from smaller companies like Tesla Motorcars rather than trying to keep alive businesses that are already dead.
Let Detroit and it's crooked unions and souless auto companys go bust. Why should hard working people subsidise the making of garbage that no one wants to buy anyway.
Or just let them go down and then buy them up and make them public companies what produce the vehicles America needs and create tariffs on slave wage products. Then return the innovative hybrid cars to production. Just a suggestion.

Just think about it.
CEO getting bonus for begging to the government.
Why we don't hear about the recovery plan?
Sure, the economy will get worsen when they close down, but it will happen bailout or not any way.
It all comes down to the nostalgia. End of the American auto industry, how sad?! So, we all pay to keep it alive?
There's a place for that kind of things, called museum!!

Gimme a break!
Lets reward the weak in society; that will guarantee a weak society!
The total (inflated) value of GM stock is 3 billion
And they want the US Taxpayer to give them 18 billion!
How would it fix anything? Isnt this a 3 decade old problem that cant be fixed by throwing money at it?
Americans are a stupid socialist country for corporations!
Want to sell autos? Creative-Innovation not money!
