I was not aware the auto businesses were or would have gone out of business. They were headed for bankruptcy which does not = going out of business.

Without government throwing money at them, they would have gone into chapter 11 and with the high horsepower legal staff they would have no doubt already had a plan to submit to the judge, commonly referred to as a prepac bankruptcy. They would have secured a line of credit from some source without a doubt. Due to the requirements of the courts there would have been a purge of incumbent management and a down sizing of overheads. They would have not ever missed one day of production or new model introduction as that is the life blood of the newly organized business structures. The debt would have had a structured pay back and the bankruptcy plan would have established benchmarks with progress reviews via the courts. The auto makers involved would meet their criteria and they would emerge from bankruptcy....now get this part....AS PLANNED!!

The ongoing misinformation about these manufacturers shutting down and hundreds of thousands of jobs lost was never ever in the cards.
Obama struck a deal with the executives and more importantly the UAW using our money with no plan for assurance of accomplishment. Purely 100% political just like the stuff being currently spewed by Obama at the union meetings this past week. "They wanted to shut you down" = BS! He also inferred Romney would have allowed your company to shut down, lose your job = BS!

Obama doesn't know the bankruptcy policy and doesn't care. And unfortunately far too many of his supporters don't understand it either...OR CARE!!

In closing, to point to the stock market as an indicator of improvement is also mis information. The stock market has been puzzling those on the edges of it for the last two years as they continued to be amazed at the continuous improvement during the midst of the so called recession. And now that the networks are hailing the breaking of 13000 the political spinners and the naieve are claiming the market is an indicator of Obama's improving economy. More political spin and BS right along side the notion that auto companies were going to close their doors and millions be unemployed....PURE UNADULTERATED POLITICAL BS!!!

And the pied piper once again raises the volume on his flute for the flock to follow....

$3.76 per gallon for regular gas this AM. Believe it is a fact that rising fuel prices negatively impacts many components of our economy. The President says he can't do anything about gas prices and all the others are merely creating bumper stickers. "Hope and change" and "yes we can" were bumper stickers too that have not resulted in much improvement after 3 plus years.

Neil Boortz said this morning that Obamacare is not about improving our healthcare, it's really about controlling healthcare which umtimately means gov't controls us. I'm inclined to believe this in light of recent events.

More time spent discussing contraception and proving "free" stuff while ignoring fact that nothing provided by gov't is free because someone outside of gov't must pay for everything that gov't provides.

More smoke and mirrors coming from DC in the next 8 months.

"I would like Hancle to tell me if he would like his health insurance company to be able to drop him because he got sick and was costing them too much money. I would like Hancle to say if he would be pleased if he knew some young person who could not get health insurance because of a pre-existing condition. I would like to ask Hancle what "recent event" he is talking about when he says Obamacare is about controlling health care and means government is controlling us. Thank you for those 3 answers in advance. "

Are you convinced that the only way for these 3 problems to be fixed was by having gov't take over the total control of healthcare in this country, by adding thousands of additional gov't employees who will be now watching over your doctor's shoulders and who will decide what tests and treatments should be employed based on statistical analysis of illnesses, treatments, age of patients, chances for recovery and yes, cost? Do you like the idea that you will be required by law to purchase the service? If so, you may get to enjoy more gov't provided products in the future.

The latest requirement for insurance companies to provide totally free reproductive services for women is an example of gov't control. Sibellius has said that private healthcare inurance companies are on their way out and the void will be filled by guess who? If the Catholic Bishops and many Evangelical Christians have a problem with this, to bad, Eric Holder is getting ready to use the full force of his office and gov't lawyers to make it happen, despite what many believe is wrong and uncontitutional.

I would like Hancle to tell me: is he now or will he ever be on Medicare? Guess what? That's a government program that the majority of recipients approve of.

If the government had not stepped in with The Affordable Care Act, do you honestly believe insurance companies would step up to the plate and remedy these problems that they created in the first place; ie dropping people when they get sick, not covering people with a pre-existing condition, not allowing young people to remain on their parents' medical insurance until age 26?

The government is not forcing anyone to use birth control.
