PORKZILLA is being unleashed on Washington, and you can be certain that one trillion dollars won't be nearly enough to satisfy this monster's ever-growing hunger.

A measly one trillion will hardly be enough for an appetizer!

Status: offline 		Maybe if the governments do opt to give them more money, the first thing that should be demanded, is public scutiny of their pay checks and other benefits, so we can all see what we are paying for. It would strike me as a cynical insult to tax payers whose money is being given to help them get out of the mess they have put us in, if it is they were still getting outrageous and attractive pay packets.

People are being laid off to save money, it begs the question is the money being saved to enable the management to not take a cut in pay and living standards.

My belief, and the way I would run an enterprise, is the management, the seniors etc, when times are hard, the cuts start with the highest paid, first go the perks, then wages cut to a level everyone else seems to be able to manage on, then the surplus labour cut before masses of people are laid off. That way, an upturn in economy, you have the workforce and the skills, with their contribution everything becomes better from the ground up.

I am of the belief that a dedicated workforce is a companies biggest asset.

this is BEYOND currupt.  it is downright robbery.    they had no way of knowing.  maybe due to not listening to the peon.

I hope that the players get burnt.  not only are they doing this to hardworking folks.  it is also being done to people who did everything they were suppose to do and right., and in that crowd is someones mother.  so they do this to MOM!

let them rot in hell!

Let them go bankrupt.
New ones will start after them.
All this does is to keep the same people in power who fucked things up to begin with.
Fuck 'em!

Status: offline 		only problem is that before they go bankrupt they'll call in all the money loaned out (and get clearance from the government to do it, if I understand right).

The only reason why I'd support it (I'm not sure if I do or not, yet) is because without another jolt it could cause millions of people to go bankrupt, in addition to the banks... which could cause a lot of homelessness and other bad things...

I dunno, it's a complicated issue.
