Sad Economy

Everyone knows our economy is in sad shape right now. Personally, I don't think it is the governments place to choose which companies are worth saving and which are okay to go under. This car maker bail-out is really irritating though. I understand the number of jobs that are tied into this, but the CEO's talk about how they are sacrificing all they can, they are laying off people, etc. to make ends meet, yet they go to Washington on their plush $20,000 roundtrip private jets - when they could have flown commercial for under $300.

I have heard the arguement "Do you know how much these people travel?" EXACTLY!! How much do these CEO's travel on their private jets at $20,000 roundtrip. Think of how much they could save if they flew commercial, as do the majority of American's. Think of how much money they could make if they SOLD their private jets. One of the CEO's only travels by this private jet - as does his wife - personal or business.

Don't ask me to pay to bail you out of your problem while you are still traveling on your plush private jet. We don't work our butt's off (PAY FOR OUR VEHICLES), etc so that we can bail out all of these private companies that like to waste money on their personal comforts.

A congressman asked the CEO's for a raise of hands of those that were willing to sell their jets, where they sit, and fly home on a commercial plane. NOONE raised their hands.

Well....CEO's their is your answer. When you are willing to make some REAL sacrifices, like us "normal American's" are having to, maybe we can put this issue back on the table. What do you think is going to happen to your private jets when your company tanks?
