GMAC may get 3rd helping of aid

*** begin quote ***

GMAC, the financial lifeline for General Motors Co., Chrysler Group LLC and their dealer networks, is asking the U.S. Treasury for more federal aid beyond the $12.5 billion it’s already received, because it remains billions of dollars short of a capital reserve requirement all bank holding companies must meet.

The request, which is subject to ongoing negotiations, comes as GMAC is caught in a financial game of chicken with Chrysler Financial that could drive some large Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealers out of business or force them to sell their operations.

More taxpayer participation required!

Argh!

More good money after bad.

Bankruptcy would have been so much cleaner.

Change the Game

As fresh faced little kids we were all told … “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” Then we went out there and found out it really did matter.

More than that, we found out that life wasn’t always fair. You didn’t always get the breaks. Sometimes the game didn’t go your way.

There’s a lot of things in life you can’t change. You can always change the game.

We’re fascinated by people, ideas and events that do just that – change the game.

Join us every Monday night at 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern and prepare to look at business, collaboration and the real time internet in a totally new way.

Sixth-graders give dining diva Rachael Ray’s lunch menu passing marks

*** begin quote ***

Dining diva Rachael Ray unveiled her healthy new lunch for students at Public School 89 in Tribeca on Monday before a gaggle of reporters – and one brazen cockroach.

*** end quote ***

Speechless.

OK, not really.

The roach will survive a nuclear war. But, the liberals think that they don’t exist.

Why should the State be “educating” (aka indoctrinating) children?

Parents should be in charge; not overpaid bureaucrats.

Bet home schoolers don’t have this problem.

Finally, it’s sad when we allow the gooferment to run our lives.

Municipal workers’ unused sick, vacation time costing NJ taxpayers nearly $1 billion
By ANDREA CLURFELD • GANNETT NEW JERSEY • October 25, 2009

*** begin quote ***

CENTRAL JERSEY — Call it the billion-dollar retirement bill.

New Jersey’s taxpayers owe almost $1 billion to municipal workers for not taking sick, vacation and comp time during their careers, budget figures show.

*** end quote ***

Time to welcome ALL gooferment workers into the “real world”.

Use it or lose it.

And the ever popular 401k.

No unfunded liabilities. No golden days.

Same as the rest of us shlubs.
