Mike Barnicle smacks down a Conservative douche-bag pundit on the economy, General Motors
DETROIT — General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have held preliminary talks about a merger or an acquisition of Chrysler by GM, according to published reports.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people it described as familiar with the discussions, reported that Cerberus Capital Management, the private equity firm that owns 80.1 percent of Chrysler and 51 percent of GMAC Financial Services, proposed trading Chrysler's automotive operations to GM. The Journal said Cerberus would receive GM's remaining 49 percent stake in GMAC.
The New York Times, also citing people familiar with the talks, reported that the automakers were discussing a merger. The Times did not mention GMAC.
GMAC, primarily an auto lender, also has significant mortgage lending operations that have been hit hard by the...

General Motors struggling amid US economic woes - 26 Sep 0
Wall Street banks aren't the only ones asking for money from the US federal government.
Until recently General Motors was the biggest carmaker in the world.
It's been building new factories to build fuel-efficient cars to try to win back its position but it now needs billions of dollars just to keep its old factories open.
Tom Ackerman reports from Youngstown in Ohio.

Jackie Mason '08 Vlog 59 Bailing Out General Motors
Remember Packard, LaSalle, and Studebaker? When these auto companies folded, the government didn't bail them out. That helped General Motors become an auto giant. Now that it has cash problems due to inferior and outdated products, they expect the taxpayers to give them money to continue to do the usual business that got them in this mess in the first place. I love the city of Detroit, and my heart goes out to the people in that area who are devastated by the decline in US auto sales. It's not their fault that the government and businesses didn't try to diversify their economy. GM has to sink or swim or the economy there will never recover. Competition is the heart of our economic system. It was what made GM and hopefully what will come to replace GM. I do wish the Feds had...

GM CEO Rick Wagoner - Fuel Economy and the Auto Industry
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/05/01/Rick_Wagoner_Can_General_Motors_Really_Be_Green_Motors
General Motors Chairman and CEO discusses the effects national and state fuel economy standards are having on the automobile industry.
-----
General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner speaks at an event hosted by The Commonwealth Club of California titled Can GM Really Be Green Motors?
General Motors will bring 16 new hybrids to market in the next few years, including a futuristic plug-in. Has the world's largest car maker turned the corner on climate change?
The Detroit automaker still doesn't like some of California's environmental laws, but it now recognizes that climate change is a real problem to be solved. The answer, Wagoner says, is to diversify fuel sources to include ethanol, hybrids...

Paulson's Hyperinflationary Folly! Endless Bailouts. The Current Economic System is Doomed.
FIRST: We must recognize the reality of a national emergency in the form of an accelerating, hyper-inflationary, general breakdown-crisis of the U.S. banking and monetary system. This trend must be halted by emergency action in bankruptcy reorganization: All present plans for financial bail-out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must be cancelled under threat of impeachment or similar action against any U.S. officials caught in complicity with such an attempted, inherently fraudulent bail-out scheme for absolutely wrecking the U.S.A. financially in favor of London and Wall Street predators.
Federal reorganization of the financial system in bankruptcy must occur immediately. We, as government, must be committed to pay what must be paid to maintain the general welfare of the population and of...

The McLaughlin Group: The Economy Tanking
The panel of Mort Zuckerman, Eleanor Clift, Monica Crowley and Pat Buchanan on this Friday's The McLaughlin Group sat down for a discussion on whether our economy is tanking and whether or not it's in part due to Iraq. Mort Zuckerman paints as gloomy a picture of the economy as we heard the other day from Jim Cramer but he refuses to admit that the occupation in Iraq might have anything to do with the economy tanking now. Zuckerman is also completely dismissive of Ron Paul's arguments about the economy during the ABC GOP debate. Of course Buchanan and Crowley think it's only a minor drag on the economy and Crowley goes so far as to start spouting off about how great the economic growth is there. How's that occupation and genocide going for you Monica? Oh the economy is booming....it's...

1-Evo Morales speech at the UN General Assembly Sept 23, 2008
Privatization policies responsible for current financial crisis, Bolivia tells UN
24 September 2008 The current worldwide financial crisis has been caused largely by policies of privatization of basic public resources, Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma has told the General Assemblys annual high-level debate.
Speaking last night before world leaders at UN Headquarters in New York, Mr. Morales said the annual debate was taking place at a time of rebellion by peoples against the existing economic order.
This is a rebellion against misery and poverty; against the effects of climate change; a rebellion against the privatization policies which is what has caused the financial crisis, he said.
Mr. Morales, who became President of the Andean country in early 2006, said many social movements...

Bargain Grocery Shopping (Economic Meltdown Tips)
The grocery store is not the only place to shop for groceries. Big Box marts save money for those who like to (and are able to) buy in quantity, but dollar stores, 99 cent stores, discount 'general stores' (like Family Dollar and Dollar General) and other independent discount and dollar stores offer big savings on groceries and household merchandise.
