House Approves $25 Billion Loan for Chrysler, Ford, and GM
September 24th, 2008

Times are getting tough all around. This has been true for US automakers in particular. GM has been working hard to shore up liquidity to ride the economic downturn, with the hopes of a 2010 recovery and the dawn of the Chevy Volt.
Today the US government gave them a boost.
The House of Representatives approved a measure which was part of a larger spending bill that included the $7.5 billion in appropriations required to allow a $25 billion loan for Detroit.
The low interest loan was authorized to assist automakers in retooling their plants to make more fuel efficient vehicles.
They could get the money early next year when at the same time a similar sized additional $25 billion dollar loan package is expected to be proposed. How and to whom the loan will be doled out won’t be decided until next year.

I just heard about it a few minutes ago.
Here we go....that slippery slope into socialism. Liberaism gets it wrong yet again.

Want to know how to bail out our auto industry......cut their tax rate to 12% Russia's is 13%,Georgie is at 12% The USA is the highest in the world and THAT is what is crippling our industries. Dems would rather rob them blind than let them be competitive. Cut the taxes and then you have no cash outlays and get real benefits. Duh?
