RE: fattmann is right...Auto bail out is a waste of money. Its political not practical. Huge layoffs and shut downs cannot be avoided because there are no buyers. Political solutions are always to throw money at the problems rather than manage them. Note they haven't change the people at the top end of the banks or the auto companies so they haven't admitted to their incompitance. I guess it gives them time to fill their pockets before the taxpayer is left holding the empty bag.
When do you expect the first devaluation of the dollars. I give it until June and then those US treasuries that everyone is rushing to will have half the buying power they do now.
