Keep Bailing: GMAC Needs More of YOUR Money »

By Larry Doyle on Oct 28, 2009 in Auto Industry, Bailouts, Economy, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog) | 14 Comments

Turning the corner? No more bailouts? You didn’t actually believe the wizards in Washington, did you? Why?
GMAC is back in line for another injection of YOUR money. Recall that GMAC was bailed out initially during the government takeover of GM. GMAC was then spun off in order for Uncle Sam to effectively provide taxpayer [...]

“Tens of Thousands” »

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 [...]

Lessons Not Learned »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Sep 8, 2009 in Arrogance, Auto Industry, Congress (House & Senate), Crime, Current Affairs, Economy, General Motors & Chrysler, President Barack Obama, Republicans | 67 Comments

It’s not just Republicans who are upset about Charlie Rangel’s rampant hypocrisy, as I reported recently (”Oh, Charlie“), but any American who works hard, pays his/her taxes, and follows the rules. Oh, and obeys the tax laws even though they haven’t WRITTEN any of them. Rangel cannot say the same, and pressure continues [...]

WHAT “Cash For Clunkers”? »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Aug 21, 2009 in Auto Industry, Bailouts, Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Democrats, Governance, Harry Reid, Health Care, US Senate | 54 Comments

Oh, dear. This not very good advertising for the way the Feds run programs. It seems that while the so-called “Cash for Clunkers” program is a HUGE success, the automobile dealers are not getting reimbursed for all of the money they have shelled out. At least one, MAJOR, state has had it, [...]

Now There’s A Thought. Or Two… »

(bumped up from yesterday early afternoon)
I just happened to catch this Tuesday morning, and thought it raised some interesting questions on the issue of health care reform:

So, why isn’t this man helping to shape policy? He sounds pretty smart to me.

Important PSA About Cars.Gov »

This is just shocking. I’m not kidding - this is really frightening. And it is important information as a follow-up to my post about the “Cash for Clunkers” program (major H/T to NQ reader, Politicalidentitycrisis for this link).
You are absolutely NOT going to believe this. Don’t be put off by [...]

And This Is Why…Updated »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 31, 2009 in American Consumers, Auto Industry, Bailouts, Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Democrats, Stimulus Plan | 70 Comments

People are understandably wary about the government handling our health insurance. That would be the CLUNKER program. I trust you have heard about this? If not, here is a short review:

Okay. I can see some wisdom in that. It is great to get these old gas guzzlers off the road, [...]

Bill Maher Complains About Obama – Chicken Little, The Sky Has Truly Fallen [Updated with Video] »

Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself. His article, Enough with the Obamathon, appearing in the Friday LA Times, lets us share our first up close and personal glimpse of Mr. Maher’s head exploding as he exhibits growing irritation with his messiah…:
President Obama should just join the cast [...]

GM: General Motors, Government Motors, or Going, Going, Gone Motors? »

By Larry Doyle on Jun 5, 2009 in Auto Industry, Bailouts, Economy, General Motors & Chrysler, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog) | 34 Comments

What will the future hold for GM? I believe there are three potential scenarios, with likely overlap in the short run but less overlap over the long haul. Let’s see if the real GM is behind:
Door #1: A Revitalized and Profitable General Motors
Behind this door, for GM to be a viable entity they need to [...]

GM: A Question of Trust »

By Larry Doyle on Jun 3, 2009 in Auto Industry, Current Affairs, Economy, General Motors & Chrysler, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog) | 22 Comments

“Trust me.”
Have you ever walked away from a discussion with a person–be it a boss, a business associate, a prospective partner–in which you wondered why they felt the need to make that statement? In regard to trust, I feel much more comfortable when others assert, “you can trust him” rather than an individual asserting, “trust [...]

That’s what the Germans seem to think of Secretary Clinton, anyway. It seems they are asking her to help deal with the GM mess as it relates to them, according to this article (H/T to Ani for alerting me to this). Why, you might ask? Because it affects them, too, in a big [...]

What? An ACORN Spokesman Lied?? And Justice Not Served… »

Hell to the yes, he did. You want to guess about what he lied? The Census and ACORN workers, that is. Oh yeah - our fears come true:

Payback’s A Bitch »

The other day, a friend asked me if it was really so bad for the government to run a corporation, and added that they do some of that over in Britain. My answer was, “Yes, yes it is.” For a whole host of reasons of which I can think (and feel free to [...]

“What Goes Around, Comes Around …” & “The End Justifies the Means …” »

By SusanUnPC on May 17, 2009 in AfPak Border, Afghanistan, Auto Industry, Economy, Pakistan, Speaker Nancy Pelosi | 56 Comments

“What Goes Around, Comes Around …”: First, the WSJ panel, aired every weekend, goes over the Pelosi mess. Then the panel gets into the bullying by the Obama administration of the state of California, ridiculing Obama for his, um, loose interpretation of the “rule of law.” It’s a great discussion:

BELOW, “the end [...]

Ford passed Toyota to become the No. 2 car seller in the U.S. in April of this year.

This past week has been a bit up and down. NH and Maine passed same sex marriage laws - YAY! And we find out more gay and lesbian soldiers have been kicked out of the military - BOO. Obama continues to morph into Bush, as I have noted on numerous occasions, but most [...]

Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for the next story up by Larry Doyle, “Hedge Fund Manager Responds to Barack’s Bullying.”
Just three days ago, No Quarter, a handful of blogs and a thimbleful of major media caught on to the Chrysler holdout firms’ attorney, Tom Lauria, and his accusations that Obama’s auto czar, Steven Rattner, threated to [...]
