money hand out program since 1/20/2009, did not have a plan. You know, how much put in....results expected....some estimate of times for expectations to materialize....where to go if and when something gets off track....etc......good old fashioned business/strategic planning. Non existent. With reports of not knowing where the money has gone......GM not going to be able to pay theirs back and need more....GMAC has already said it cannot make it without more $$$$....Chrysler, ditto.....and all the other too big to fail debacles.

So to merely debate that more time is needed is sort of a waste of time, given the complete lack of planning. This is not peculiar to this administration at all. They just happen to be the one in charge and the one handing $$$$ out faster and in more quantity than predecessors....with out any accountability.

If a plan....even a minimal plan with accountability and what was to be achieved and roughly when....we could all look at the plan and say....OK, needs more time....OK needs more $$$$$....more etc.....but without a plan how is one to know? And pleading for more time to see if a program is working or not given the complete lack of accountability and responsibility is really rather naive.

It is akin to a current administration cruise trip....c'mon let's go...going to be fun....price is right the fed is picking up the bill. The ship is the most elaborate in the world with accomodations fit for a king for all passengers. It will be the best when it is built. Don't worry about where the ship will go, we will figure that out after we leave port and have enough information to make good decisions where to go. Don't worry about how long we will be gone, because you don't want to miss all the wonderful places we will be going.
Yadda....yaddda....yadda.

Just like the programs passed to date! Where? How much? How long? Who?

By the way, plug in any federal program and all the above applies. For example....how we doing on energy independence? You know the other ticking time bomb that when it goes off will minimalize any other issue facing this nation. Yes the war(s). And for stinking sure health care.

Also note as one cruises the world wide news other major players in the world are doing something about getting away from fossil fuels.

So please don't insult any average accomplishment, thinking, results oriented, make it happen, live human beings with the premise of more time is needed.

THAT AIN'T THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
