Those kids in Detroit have been ruling the monopoly board for too long. About time so of those people landed on bankrupt on the board. Send them to jail and this time…NO FREE PARKING! 1 YEAR! Oh and no freaking soup either! Bailout my butt. What about those people living on the streets because of their mismanagement? Where’s their bailout? Gimme a break!

This post is really good.

My husband had to close his company a year and a half ago. After owning and running his own company for 10 years, it has been very difficult to find a new job with a large corporation. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves (too much), we have been doing all sorts of creative things to make ends meet.

When the banking bailout happened in fall, I thought is was not the right thing to do. I do not think the auto bailout is right either.

There is not a lot of fun, when you have to accept responsibility and figure a way out of the hole you find yourself. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how you look at it), that is part of growing up and being mature. It is great that you are teaching your daughter this while she in young.

LOVE this post about the ‘pwecious’ automakers. LOL – you are so right. They really are exactly like your daughter! It’s rather pathetic, but true. I think everyone could use to take a little more responsibility in life, but especially a lot of these corporations who are buckling and whining at the moment.

Congrats on being saucy btw!!!

[...] Today I got about as ticked off as a woman can be. I was watching the big three auto makers (weren’t there five when I was a kid?) re-approach Washington and ask for a bailout. Why re-approaching? Because they were shunned by the Senate, who thought it fiscally irresponsible to bail them out of a mess they’d created for themselves. [...]

You always manage to build comparisons that most wouldn’t notice, let alone be able to put into words. Always fascinating.

I’ve also done my fair share of ranting about the inane subsidies of corn in this country. For cars? Seriously? When so many people are starving… and well, that’s how it starts, doesn’t it? I’ll refrain from setting up my soapbox on your blog. :)

Awesome post Jessica, I agree with Mr. Tefft’s comment. And I too could rant about the corn subsidies in this country…wait I have at my parent’s table during Thanksgiving…My dad finds it amusing when I rant about plant and animal agriculture, since after all I majored in animal science.
