HA! Great question...the thinking must be, it's okay to drive a Honda, but it's not okay to get a loan from Japan?????

I was against the bank bailout...we are now printing money (literally) to pay bad debts. In the history of the world, the only thing that kills a society faster than that is war.

Gonna be a fun 10 years ahead of us!

Maybe the lack of outrage is because there are no unions involved...

BTW -- To keep this on topic: don't buy GM stock.
