This Week: Panel Discussion on New Deal/Auto Bailout

[123cristofori]

Poor George Will - As usual, he's the only intelligent person at the table. And he's the only reason to watch this show.

[lionsgateblows]

happened to me 4 years ago...and i helped my employer build his business

didnt matter...he found a guy who needed a green card, and would take much less to do my job

that is all it took

and that is why i support unions...so shit like that shouldnt happen to anyone else

[lionsgateblows]

ford believed that no one working for him should be unable to buy what they produce

that is a living wage

but im sure you would rather the working class be like slaves

fuck off and die you wingnut shit

[dearkgar]

Things have gotten so bad that David Brooks is supporting the food stamp program!

[tpdavis2007]

Its not wanting to bust the union.But start at the top.Stop the million in bonuses.Let them take a pay cut all the way to the car dealerships.Its not going to hurt to take a 15 dollar pay cut to keep your job.Your still making a lot more than toyota and others.Help your self first

[waltermh111]

People need incentives to buy it not because they dont want it but because of cost.

But cost cant come down without demand.

I cant believe that one guy suggested that volume doesnt bring price down when basic economics point that volume is a downdriver of prices.

[lionsgateblows]

that was asshat number 2...george will

here is the wingnut meme...the reason that the electric car wont sell is because people dont want it

now you tell me one person who wouldnt want to stop paying at the pump...needing tuneups and getting oil changes

its such bs

[waltermh111]

As far as the auto industry. That last line before video end needs to be repeated all over. American people have some hate for learning from others. We do everything right.

I hate that mentality. We can learn much from others just as they have learned much from us.

Americans want the volt and similar cars, the high prices prius with its waiting line and over 200k/y sales prove it.

[waltermh111]

We also need power line upgrades for the most efficient transfer of renewable energies.

We can upgrade the internet infrastructure.

Theres many legitimate upgrades to infrastructure that are about more then just job creation but cost money that is hard to come by from states alone sometimes, especially these days.

[lionsgateblows]

george will, will continue pushing the meme that the new deal was a failure, no matter who tells him that he is wrong

[waltermh111]

Putting the good or bad of the new deal aside, he acts like this builing of roads and such is about building them to nowhere just for jobs 5 years from now.

We need infrastructure repairs and additions anyway.

The US population has continued to grow and roads can be expanded. Texas does alot of construction, but some states could use help expanding bridges and roads who are otherwise having to wait because of budgets.

[eljefereal]

When did infrastructure become a 'negative' term anyway? We absolutely need to fix our ever expanding country, otherwise it'll all fall apart (see the economy, the I-35W bridge, Katrina)

My only concern, honestly, however, is that I think we as Americans feel we're too good to work in construction jobs. I live in Texas, and you know what, the crews currently doing the building are heavily Mexican. Do you think you can get formerly unionized steel workers to build a road? Somehow I don't.

[lionsgateblows]

oh please...for years citizens did the work...then came profit margin and the need to bust the unions...that is why illegals are now working construction

if people need to eat, they will do anything...but they must be paid a living wage

[rainsan]

Is intellectualism finally back?

Thank God!

[zombiemutt007]

"The Japanese... were smarter than we were."

So true. -_-

[likes2p]

WOW! George Will is sooooooo FUCKING DUMB! READ A FUCKING ECONOMICS TEXTBOOK, YOU MOTHERFUCKING IDEOLOGUE! Fuck!

[Mahoivlich]

i think they should give them some loans but with strings attached....all of the management needs to be fired.

[gamoonbat]

There is nothing wrong with a five year plan. Barack Obama should have at least that long as president. Especially if the GOP keeps listening to the likes of George Will and David Brooks.

[eljefereal]

In other news, Cowboys lead 22-6 over SF at the half, and undefeated Tennessee trails 10-3 to the Jets.

[eljefereal]

I have a headache. Let them all fail.

Bailouts for consumers only. Let US determine which companies get our money!

[gloryoski]

Yeah "Fool"--let the man finish.

[gloryoski]

Not only that but--did you notice how he conflated "national service" and "service sector"? Not the same thing at all!

[lionsgateblows]

thats because brooks is an asshat

[lionsgateblows]

david brooks is a fucking idiot...no economy can sustain itself if it is based on service alone....you gotta build stuff...you gotta have a manufaturing base

asshat
