RE: A Special Thank You to Chrysler
These bailouts to Wall St and the auto companies gets me pretty angry.
As a member of the military I do what I'm told, salute smartly and press on flying an aircraft into combat that is over 40 years old...yes 40 years old. Its basically a roll of the dice to see what will go wrong with the plane each and every time I lift off the ground. The technology on the aircraft is so old that the engines can be started by the crew chief outside by a pry bar.
That 700 billion already allocated to the bailout plan and the 25 or so that's going to the automakers and the additional trillion planned could have bought quite a few new planes to replace planes in the Air Force inventory that are 40 or even 50 years old. Maybe we should mandate that people keep their cars for 40 years...then things may change.
Just my $.69 on the matter
