Think GM will get the $$$?

[wpage]

GM is making the pitch and I bet they get the $$$.

The unemployment #'s are so bad there is no way Gov wont bail em now

Your op?

[Hummer Guy]

There is still quite a bit of sentiment against it, but an equal ammount of 'what if' fear should a bail out not pass. I think they'll get some cash, but not all they're asking. I also think it's a wise decision for congress to change the laws and set up an oversight committe (or single person) with the powers of a federal bankruptcy judge (i.e. get rid of union contracts, possibly some dealer agreements). This allows the big three to get the benefits of bankruptcy without having to delcare it and shake consumer confidence.

You want it to work...

Here's one of the few ways...Make Romney in charge of a Govt authorized committee to run/regulate/control the auto industry of the big 3. Give him total control. The committee is to have almost NO POLITICANS on it The unions need to make a TOTAL submission of their control of the big 3. Pay Romney a FAIR SALARY in 1/3rds to start and if it looks like he is making it work then tie his salary in 1/3rds to each company seperately...he turns that company around you make him a fat cat, he doesn't, hell he's rich anyway...if he's sucessful he will become the next Republician President of the United States.

Theres a lot more details in my mind but i'm hungry now!

For rent: one very sharp mind !!!

OK...now i'm fed !

1. UNION, ALL bets are off, NOW
2. Top 10 people in each of big 3 work for $1.00 first 12 months, no bonusas, no one in company makes more then
$250K
3. Once Romney is approved each company has 144 hours to present a plan for approval by Romney.
4. Romney will run each company individually as he sees fit according to their own plan. He has the power to overide
any portion of their own plan. (even with Romney overiding if that company plan fails then that company is gone,
bye bye, does not exist anymore)
5. If at the end of the first 12 months an individual company looks like its not going to make it Romney can stop
funding it.
6. at the 18 month mark Romney gives a raise to top 10 people of each surviving company IF IT LOOKS LIKE ITS
TURNING AROUND.(still top salary $250K)
7. End of 24 months if Romney is not happy with improvment he has the power to end that company and /or replace
any and all top execs...

Good plan RYD got my vote!

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

RYD great minds think a like. I had very similar convo with friends and my pick was Romney. Most people do not know how many companies he has turned around. He is a pragmitist, familar with landscape in Michigan and looks at glass half full but, when he sees it will not work he does not force it further. He cuts loses.

If you get hired give me a call I will serve with you for sure and it will not cost the Gov. ant 1 mil a year for common sense advice. So let me know when You need me.

i still want to fly when necessary, first class...but commercial, not private

I agree RYD if we are going to work for a practical wage and save the country we at least deserve 1st class air fare as well as a furnished Hummer of our choice so we can have office in the rig. We need something that can carry all the heavy files and still get us to any location we need to get to. We would at least not be having an office we are not at because we are out doing our job for our countrymen. We can have all phones, faxs, etc. with us at all times. I have always tried to have everything I could with me to be more efficient and get job done.

When farming I was the first farmer I knew of that had a cell phone in my tractor around 1983 maybe 1984 when they had almost no range and looked like a CB radio. Keep in mind this is rural Arkansas and we use to say what ever was a fad on east or west coast would get to us 1 or 2 years later, which was not all bad! You picked up mic with keypad on it and punched in phone numbers. I had mine setup with ant. on all equip. so I could move the monster with me. Then I got a phone bag next year and thought I was in heaven that year. Next came the brick phone which I learned I had to buy extra battery that stayed on charger while I ran other down. I still thought I had made a leap to the moon. I could call for seed and fertilizer delivered never stopping the turning of the soil.

Years later when the crop duster got gps and we did not have to step of distance for next pass holding flags and getting soaked with chemical I just stayed amazed at agri tech. advancements. The next thing I know I can actually talk directly to the pilot while I stood off watching to make sure he was over correct field.

So I think You and I could set an example with mobile office and still save tax payers tons of money. Hey even if the mobile offices had to be hauled to next location like NASCAR does the stock cars it still would be saving money versus the $10,000's of thousands of dollar a month leases cost just because the gov. is paying the bill. You know what I mean You are even sharper than me, Your underling, to have figured this out.

Well still will be waiting on phone call or PM when you need me to start even if it is not gov. but, in private sector. We can go and be the car maker Czar and right hand man that I would be happy as well as proud to be part of a no nonsense team for You.

Your Right Arm,

TAZ
