Automakers In Trouble!
The word on the street is that automakers are now feeling the pinch of this widespread credit problem. Most all U.S. and foreign automakers are reporting 30 percent drops in monthly sales. Automaker Honda Motor Co. reported a 24 percent drop, which was the best compared to others. With credit being so tight and economic worries this will only hurt automaker in the following months. And let’s not forget the high price gasoline, which slowed down truck sales. I think that we may even have a few automakers go bankrupt by year’s end. This could happen if the Senate and Congress don’t pass the rescue bill soon. Passing this bill will free up some credit and get things moving again. I will be watching tonight, so I won’t be surprised in the morning. If they fail to pass this bill we will have a crash on Wall Street come first thing in the morning. Lets all hope for the best.
Rescue Plan!
Will this rescue plan be enough to save our economy? That’s the million-dollar question that is being asked by just about everyone. I really don’t know if this will be the right move. There are a lot of people on both sides of this rescue plan. A lot of people feel it will help make of economy get back on track. And on the other side of the coin a lot of people think it will fail. I will say with the Dow Jones opening down 200 points it looks like is very will could fail. The Dow’s rough start could also be because of the sale of Wachovia to Citigroup Inc. So over the next few days will come the real test of this plan. I do sure hope it works out in the end. I really don’t want to go through what mine grandparents went through with the great depression. I only want what’s best for my family and America.
American Leaders!
I first need to state that I’m an American and would die to defend this great country I call home. But I can no longer stand these boneheads running this country. We have Congress slashing and farting around with this very needed bail out bill. Now I don’t agree with this bail out bill, but I do feel that we need it for the greater good. But the crooks in Congress seem to think they know everything. Most of them, the elected officials in Congress have trouble managing their own money. And now where asking them to understand and vote on something they have no clue about. I don’t even think President Bush understands fully what’s going on. That is why we need to leave this up to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. These two men have more knowledge then anyone else in the world on how our economy works. So lets leave it up to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to make the call on this one. After all, what do either one of these men have to gain. Neither one of them likes politics and can really careless what any political party has to say about them.
