President Bush and the Treasury Department signaled on Friday that they would consider dipping into the $700 billion bailout program for financial institutions to aid the Big Three car companies, after Republican senators refused to support a compromise proposal to rescue the automakers.
“Under normal economic conditions we would prefer that markets determine the ultimate fate of private firms,†Dana Perino, Mr. Bush’s spokeswoman, said in a carefully nuanced statement released minutes before the financial markets opened in New York. “However, given the current weakened state of the U.S. economy, we will consider other options if necessary — including use of the TARP program — to prevent a collapse of troubled automakers.â€
The Treasury Department promptly indicated that it would provide short-term relief to the automakers. “Because Congress failed to act, we will stand ready to prevent an imminent failure until Congress reconvenes and acts to address the long-term viability of the industry,†a Treasury spokeswoman, Brookly McLaughlin, said.
For a moment, try to ignore the fact that this money was originally set aside by Congress to aid financial institutions and not automobile manufacturers, what exactly is the point of having Congress debate this bill if its actions (or lack thereof in this instance) are irrelevant? To President Bush, the fact that the required votes in Congress do not exist (from ironically, his own party) is merely a technicality in getting what he wants. The administration will simply divert money previously approved by Congress for other causes where it sees fit. The very concept of checks and balances has been destroyed with this being only the latest example.
I might not be the most perceptive person on this planet but I can clearly see that people are hurting for money, all around the world. Okay, I have been doing online marketing for about 12 years now. If there is a money making method out there that I have not tried, I would be quite surprised. I have had some bad years as well as some good years but overall, it has been much better than working for a living. Now I am going to go ahead and let you in on my latest and greatest discovery. If you are will to think outside the box, break away from the traditional GURU crap and see a WORKING method that you can implement right away, you need to check this out. It was put together by someone that I highly respect. He really knows what he is doing when it comes to making money online and he is the real deal. So I ended up getting a private invitation to his newest ‘thing’ and I can honestly say that I am quite happy that I decided to at least look into it. Using automated software and reverse engineering, you too could soon be raking in the bucks. At $100 to $200 per conversion, you could quickly pop yourself into a different tax bracket. This is a completely new way of marketing and it is also very easy to implement. A big bonus in this system is that by watching the video modules, you can come up with some other great ideas of your own. I am so glad that I found this system and I am sure that you will too.
