Phil, I agree with you 100% but you're beating a dead horse. The govt. doesn't give a rats butt about us poor taxpayers. Never have and never will.

Sadly, a new crop always ends up being as bad or worse than the one it replaced.
Even those who initially promote positive change are quickly absorbed into the status quo and do the very things they swore they'd never do. And don't do the things they swore they'd do. JMO.

Yep, just like last nights debate: 2 grown men telling lies to each other and to the public about what they have done and what they are going to do.......

Was all BS You know shovel it at every opportunity. If you divide the population into the Bail out
Roughly 225,000,0000 (Million, 6 0's) into
Bail out of 70,000,000,000.00 ( Billion 9 0's the result is staggering for everyone of us)
Think about the Illegals who a year ago were told to get Liar Loans so they could get Houses
The figure for Illegals was somewhere around 20,000,000 (Twenty Million) about 8% of the US Population if just 5% of them went and bought homes by falsifying papers (there was a Law Suit about a Year Ago of a Real Estate company doing this) that would be 1 Million of them buying a House at around $150,000 (gov says the median price is $324,000 so the number is low) do the math $150,000.00 times 1 Million Equals 150 Billion. No wonder we are in such a mess.
Then today we are giving a major portion of Bail Out funds to some Political Action committee. This whole thing stinks.
Washington Mutual Bank went broke last night because there was a run on the bank. Some 7 Billion of cash withdrawen so it was sold to Chase who will now pay WaMu's president/CEO 7.7 million signing bonus (He started 3 months ago) and his Severance package of 6 Million.
Today Wachovia (6th largest) Bank is now Failing. I guess so their CEO can get his package from the Government.
This is a Fleecing like we never saw before. I say NO BAIL OUT, NO MONEY it's all BULL SHIT. Hang on to your wallets gentelmen & Ladies. The Math does not work.
Oh & I forgot to mention $625,000,000,000.00 (Trillion) to prop up the auto industry. I am not happy with my house so I need $25,000,000 (million) because I have to have some pocket change & don't want to spend any of my money as long as Uncle is funding it. That's the mentality.
Keep in Mind the Following
Three 0's is Thousands
Six 0's is Millions (one thousand of the above to be 1 of these)
Nine 0's is Billions (one thousand of the above million)
Twelve 0's is Trillions (one thousand of the above Billion)
Truly MIND BOGGLING I don't think anyone in Congress has or is capable of doing the math?

Uh, David, I think you got your Billions & Trillions backwards. A trillion is more than a billion.

No matter what you call it, it's still a he$$ of a lot of money....

Truce You are right! I was listening to the news at same time.They managed to wind me!

Right on Jerry!
I think the reason this new coupon system irritates me so much is that, over the years dealing with collections at the bank, I heard every imaginable excuse why people couldn't or didn't send in their loan payments.
90% of the time, it came down to people just weren't responsible!!!
DM catering to these deadbeats, just gripes me! In the long run, it will cost all of us more, because eventually DM will pass along those postage costs for the monthly coupons on to all of us. Here is my solution for those that don't pay on time.....MAKE THEM PAY FOR THE CAR IN ADVANCE OF IT BEING SENT, OR ONLY ALLOW THEM TO USE A CREDIT CARD!
Jerry, you said it best. I like you, think the current system of sending all the coupons in the box with the car is just fine!!!
DM please keep it the way it is! I've never misded or been late on a payment, and ALL my cars are paid for! Don't make me pay for the irresponsilbilty of a select few!
