Because that’s one of the only two conclusions that you can really draw from this bit of earnest fundament-covering by Madam Speaker.
As Allahpundit notes, if the money hemorrhage gets too bad for even Congress to ignore, they can either let the Big Three fail, or take them over – and letting them fail would cost the Democrats a lot of votes. So, we nationalize the Big Three.
If this sort of thing appalls you, may I suggest looking up your local/State GOP office? They’ll be happy to help you put that energy to good use.

PS: The other conclusion? That Speaker Pelosi is as dumb as a box of rocks. It’s a tempting theory, but I’m not quite buying it. Senate Majority Reid, now…

chemjeff (Diary) Monday, December 8th at 11:38PM EST (link)So first Pelosi says it’s “not an endless flow of money”. Then she says “we won’t give up on the auto industry”. So which is it? If 3/31 rolls around and she doesn’t like what she sees, is she going to turn on the endless flow of money or is she going to give up on them?
And this whole exercise is stupid anyway.
Oh Moe...

Why...
tsquare (Diary) Monday, December 8th at 11:41PM EST (link)Can’t it be both?
It seems to me that the former would almost certainly mean the latter
This whole exercise is stupid because...
chemjeff (Diary) Monday, December 8th at 11:41PM EST (link)WE SHOULDN’T BE BAILING OUT ANYONE. Not homeowners, not auto industries, not banking industries, not insurance giants, not investment banks, not anyone. I never thought I’d see the day when we got a “car czar”. How ridiculous. America is the land of capitalism for God’s sakes! We stared down the Soviet Union decisively because we demonstrated capitalism is superior to the tyrannical state-run BS known as communism. And now what are we doing? Ayn Rand is doing 7000 RPM in her grave right now. Please, someone show me the way to Galt’s Gulch.
Why an either/or proposition?
dt (Diary) Tuesday, December 9th at 12:08AM EST (link)I have it on good authority that Speaker Pelosi IS as dumb as a box of rocks. Can’t both conclusions be valid?
and by "good authority"
dt (Diary) Tuesday, December 9th at 12:10AM EST (link)I, of course, mean her own words.
What have you got against rocks
Shoebox (Diary) Tuesday, December 9th at 9:28AM EST (link)They’ve performed a valuable service for our country time and again i.e. dams, foundations. What has Pelosi ever done that has elevated her to that level of respect?
I figured that you'd yell at me about the "box" part.

My (combined) wish list.
Well, you did say a "box"
Shoebox (Diary) Tuesday, December 9th at 9:56AM EST (link)so I suppose the comparison may be a bit unfair i.e. many to one…let’s see…Nope, a single rock, and a small one at that, took down Goliath. I still can’t think of anything that Pelosi has done that would match that level of sacrifice!
It seems to me that we need to expand on some Dem ideas
bk (Diary) Tuesday, December 9th at 10:05AM EST (link)Given that the economy started going down the crapper around the time that Pelosi and Reid took over, shouldn’t they be forced to resign and have all the members of the Congressional majority work for $1/year and give up all perks until the economy starts running a surplus? That’s the sort of thing they’re demanding from others right?
