So much for that stupid Neo-Con line saying that the slump in auto sales is the automakers fault.
Via the New York Times:
TOKYO — Toyota Motor will idle its plants in Japan for 11 days in February and March to reduce output in the face of steeply declining global vehicle sales, the company said [...]

I must admit, the man speaks the truth. I don’t agree with one point however. To me, it does not matter how many missiles Hamas fired into Israel, one missile is one too many. But the rest, I pretty much agree with.

It is not every day that I issue a rather strongly worded statement such as this. I am much set in my way of thinking; in other words my political ideology is pretty much set. After realizing that the Democratic Party was no longer the Party of principles, I sought out different political grounds. During [...]

From The Politico:
President George W. Bush stepped in Friday to keep America’s auto industry afloat, announcing a $17.4 billion bailout for GM and Chrysler, with the terms of the [...]
