Question to Anyone

[WillCz]

Can someone tell me what amount was paid out to the big 3 automaker executives over the past 8 years in Bonus's.

I wonder if the bonus's paid exceed $25,000,000,000. I can almost be certain that they did.

Do the same thing with all of the other companies that are getting a bailout.

IMHO they took all the money out and whenthe economy slowed.....UH OH

Kind of like building a home with a contractor that doesn't make a lot of money and being the last one he is building. Mysteriously that is when they go Bankrupt.

Think about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's against every law of capitalist economics to bail out any failing venture, figure that one out...

Kevin, i couldn't agree more.

I work with a Chinese consultant that just last week got a PO from Chrysler to hire 25 mechanical engineers to work in the Nanjing location. hmmmmmmmmm

Why limit your question to 8 years?

Don't worry, the big 3 will get their bailout. The dems will lose too much in campaign contributions from the UAW.

I bet they didn't. First... What do you consider "executives"? Is that anyone who isn't a janitor or a production line worker? Or is it Directors, President, and division heads? Second... Why are you only concerned about the past 8 years? Do you simply presume that, prior to the Bush 43 era, auto executives were paid minimum wage and that they didn't start raking it in until Bush took office?

I suspect you could glean this info from a review of each company's annual 10-K's. They're public record. www.sec.gov

How much in campaign contributions and pocket money did the Republican party get from their fat cat banker friends that they bailed out so eagerly?

Probably about the same (or less) than the Democrat party got from their fat cat banker friends that they bailed out so eagerly. The biggest recipients from Fannie Mae were Chris Dodd and Obama...

Don't go throwing the truth around like that. It upsets them.
