#2 No problem. 30 billion divided by 300 million people is only $100 each. That's $100 from me, another from my wife, another from each of three kids... We'll be happy to chip that in if they just CANCEL THE F'ING $800 BILLION STIMULUS PLAN!

#3 Why does GM need $30 billion if they are not selling cars and are laying off 47,000? Seems like throwing good money after bad money. What strings are attached to the money?

#4 What strings are attached to the money?

More money into Donk reelection coffers. You don't expect such people to live on their public pay do you?
