US Tax dollars - not returning

Post by dgreco »

It seems unlikely that US taxpayers will recoup their tax dollars from the auto bailouts... Not a surprise...

Nobody with a brain stem (translation: conservatives) thought we'd EVER recoup that money. Only the koolaid drinkers believe that line of bullshit. :roll: :roll:

Great! So, we're not getting our money back and people who had legitimate cause to sue GM for safety issues are screwed as well due to bankruptcy....buy Ford.

Toyota? NO WAY! The unrepentant Toyo Kogyo corporation still has blood on its hands from unacknowledged WWII atrocities.

Mr. Honda was never part of the Zaibatsu conglomerate system which actively supported Japanese atrocities in WWII.

I just bought a 2009 4Runner Sport. I love it.

I needed something that I can get serviced in Vietnam and South Africa.

As for the atrocities, I'd call it even if they would just stop bellyaching and playing the victims over Hiroshima.
