SS isn't backed by the Government?

Sorry to break this to ya Pete, but spring started a month ago.

Oops, just remembered you're going to tackle the Lincoln's suspension tomorrow. Good luck with that.

Yes, Social Security is backed by the government. Shares in GM are not.

Hell, I've even payed off one credit card with another. I even borrowed 50K (minimum to get 5%) from the bank and payed them back 20K a week later.

Tell me I ain't a smart money guy!!!

The new GM commercial with the prez strutting through the GM plant like a stud duck is enough to make me puke. It's a shell game.

The way the talking heads described it, GM used a Visa to pay off the Mastercard.

Look at it this way, they had a loan just in case, be glad they did not need it and so they gave it back. better our own automobile company than some effing asian thieves.

From what I've heard, not only are they 'paying back' the government with govenment money, they're doing it to look better for another bigger cheaper government loan.

If true this would be the biggest lie we've swallowed since ss was 'fixed'. I await further information.

Funny, it is a bad thing for the gummint to help GM, but it is a good thing for all those states to give land and tax breaks to foreign auto makers.
