Sounds like the start of a bad joke.
Hey folks,
It really does. But it is real. The Automakers went begging to Congress to have them give them $34 Billion MORE dollars to bail them out. What did Senator Reid say?
"I just don't think we have the votes to do that now." But he wasn't done. He let you get a little inside information here. He wants to CONTROL the Automakers. He wants Government to say what their Contracts with their Unions should be. I'm not kidding.
You see, the Automakers promised labor concessions and restructuring. Reid is all for that. He said this.
"I think it's too bad that negotiated contracts between labor and management are going to have to be changed. But it's obvious to everyone - as strong of a union guy as I am - it's obvious that there has to be some changes made."
What do you think those may be? Sixty one percent of you oppose providing the auto companies with billions in federal assistance. This is according to a CNN Opinion Research Corp. poll released Wednesday. Over halve of those Polled said it would not help the economy. How would it. Really?
But there is another piece to this puzzle. God. Yup. God. Bishop Charles H. Ellis III and Greater Grace Temple are reaching out to all auto industry workers with a word of hope and encouragement. It happens at their special "Prayer and Consecration Service" on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 11:00 a.m.
Folks, there is so much wrong with this concept I do not even know where to begin.
"Detroit (Southeast Michigan included) is facing its most crucial economic season in my 50 years of life," says Bishop Ellis. The future of numerous businesses and thousands of individuals are hanging in the balance as we await the outcome of Congress' decision regarding the aid being sought by the automotive industry. Lifestyles including the basics (home, transportation, food, education, health insurance, etc.) are in serious jeopardy. It is my firm belief that the religious community should engage its most potent weapon during this most dire hour and that is Prayer and Consecration."
The service is aimed at all persons employed in the auto industry from executives to UAW workers to suppliers, and even business people who depend on the industry. During the service, Bishop Ellis will bring a special message entitled "A Hybrid Hope." There will be a special prayer and anointing for all in attendance. Anointing with oil is symbolic of the conferring of God's blessing and favor upon an individual.
I REALLY do not know where to start. So Bishop Ellis is going to ask God to intervene and FORCE the US Congress to take $34 Billion of YOUR money, and give it to Automakers and Unions. This is what this day of prayer, and Anointing of Oil, is all about. Not the cure for disease. Not world peace. Not Salvation. No it is for $34 BILLION dollars.
So since you, 61 percent are against this, Reid said "Hey Bush can do this."
Reid said the administration could act unilaterally to use a portion of the Wall Street bailout program for loans to the automakers, but the White House has consistently resisted that approach.
"There's talk going around now that the Bush White House may ask for" the second $350 billion installment of the $700 billion financial industry rescue fund, Reid said.
But if Bush's team doesn't act, he said, "I think that we are probably going to have to try to do something" in Congress.
All this taken place the eve on the TELEVISED debate today. Can you say SHOW? That leads me to another question. If the debate is today, which it is, and the Bush Administration does not seem all that interested in doing this, then why is the Bishop waiting until Sunday? Does he think God can only hear you on Sundays?
Anyway, this really is a joke. Let's say, like the bailout to Banks that either hoarded the money or bought OTHER Banks, we give the Automakers this EXTRA $34 Billion. How DOES that help YOU.
Where is MY bailout? It's not fair that someone like Rush has three or four houses and I have to pay the morgage on my one house. Where is MY Bailout. Why does the Government not swoop in and pay off MY Morgage and therefore I would have all this extra money to put back in the economy. Think about it. I would have over $1300 a month with no obligations. I buy stuff, which fuels the Manufacturers and Retailers, brings the prices down, and helps those less fortunate than I. Wait. Better Idea. They could just take one of his houses and give it to me. I mean really, why does he need four? Just take one of his, give it to me. Then It would not cost them ANYTHING and we would have the same result. Maybe I should say a prayer about that. I bet you I have just as much chance of this happening as does the Automakers being given another $34 Billion. Unless of course, the Government can then control them.
Bailout mania is running wild. Governors asking that their States to be bailed out. Business after business going to Congress with their hands out. Banks, Wall Street, ETC. So I guess, why not me?
