"Brother, can you spare $34 billion?"
If the current meetings between the U.S. auto industry and Congress are not indicative of economic manipulation, I don't know what is. The "outrage" the media was prodding us to feel a mere two weeks ago is transforming into "sympathy" as we watch it all, and do nothing. As if driving a hybrid to the meeting was anything more than an inconvenience. Make no mistake, they will get their money - Congress gave in thrice to corporate demands over the last two months (AIG, Freddie and Fannie, and the bailout), and will give in again. Forget that pyramid at the top for the moment, and think about those layers close to it. I'm guessing that is where the U.S. Congress ranks, and make no mistake, most want a promotion - especially this close to the "end" (however you want to define it is fine by me). Anyway, Congress will do what they are told, and the auto pageant will be complete. Orchestration at its finest. And shame on all those who don't publicly act against it.
And its all right out there for everyone to see.
