Can you imagine being given a huge chunk of money? No strings attached? No plan for what the money is to be used for? Or who gets it? No objectives or expectations? And if you run out or don't know where it went you can come back and ask for more?

Forty years ago when the government took on the railroads and consolodated them into what we know as Amtrack....it was said then the railroads should be on the right track in less than 10 years. That was 40 years ago....they lost over a billion dollars last year.

In the last few days in the plethora of GM news I thought I had heard that someone did a calculation of how many cars the new GM would have to produce to generate the pay back to be free from the government. The end result confirmed it as an impossible mission numbers wise. So how does the media get away with repeating, again tonight, about the new GM and what it could be in a "few" years.

Not sure who is smoking what but smells too much like political BS....as usual we the people sit and nod....uh-huh!!
