John, it makes sense but the problem is our market is held hostage by global oil price shocks that we can't control, that's why Detroit keeps getting blind sided by them, the last time that happened we almost lost GM and Chrysler and only because the American Taxpayers stepped up with an 80 Billion Dollar Loan, saved that from happening.

Wow, we gave them a loan. The way I remember it, they held a gun to my head and told me to give them the money.

"I should point out, when you talk about the SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] program or the food stamp program, you have to recognize that it's also an economic stimulus. Every dollar of SNAP benefits generates $1.84 in the economy in terms of economic activity."

“We now have a group of U.S. politicians seeking political purity, who seem to have much in common with the Taliban.

Like the Taliban, they see compromise as an unacceptable alternative.”

The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual."


"It doesn't deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what's real, of who's accountable, of who is not accountable, of who's real, who isn't, who's serious, who isn't?"


-John Kerry (This morning on "Morning Joe")
