Out of sight of subject shores, we kept even our eyes free from the defilement of tyranny. We, the most distant dwellers upon earth, the last of the free, have been shielded till today by our very remoteness and by the obscurity in which it has shrouded our name.

Right you are, Michael. And then the CEO would retire with a bazillion in bonuses for destroying his company's solvency.
UNLESS--they could get the American taxpayers to fund their restructuring through a "bailout", so they could continue to dun their debtors for the debt. Then the CEO might have to delay his retirement...but it might be even bigger later on. Recently turned cynical.

Credit crunch?.....what credit crunch?
It seems every CEO in the U.S.A is flying to Washington in private jets (!!), crying 'poor', and getting, not just credit, but billions/trillions in taxpayer 'gifts'........ Apparently "the taxpayer" has all the money, and bottomless pockets !!!!

They see some one spending money wit hout having to borrow for the first time in their life, so they spit the dummy out and make it difficult for everyone....

I heard on the news that Opel have asked the German government for a billion but that the gov't fears that it will only be going to GM in the States. I know something like that went on with a perfectly healthy Dutch bank that suppered the misfortune to be a daughter company of a bankrupt US bank.
