    - Palin sold the private jet, remember (how can we forget). - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 19, 12:14

- Say... how much did that suit cost you? -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 12:08
- It harshly undercuts any optimism that the potential beneficiaries are trying to become more fiscally responsible. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 12:06 1
  - Wow, for once I agree with Vermin - amoxy Nov 19, 12:10
- How about a little bit of "share the suffering"? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 19, 12:05
- I don't see why. They should be re-thinking how they operate before they put their hands out for my money. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 12:04
Hmmm. Let's see. $25 billion versus $20,000. I don't think the private jets are a big problem. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 12:00 12
- Ford apparently spends that much (more?) *per week*, since he flies the same jet to his home in Seattle on the weekends. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 19, 12:04 3
  - He if he really belives in the company, he needs to do what Icocca did with Chrysler - amoxy Nov 19, 12:11
  - And that has been a known cost item to the company all along. It's part of his compensation package. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 12:07 1
    - So, while we're depriving thousands of people of their livelihood, let's deprive the execs of some multi-million-dollar perks and bonuses. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 19, 12:09
- It's a pretty big symptom highlighting their corporate attitude and culture. They don't get. No wonder their companies are pure sh*t. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 12:02 3
  - Well, the government is in a financial mess. Sell Air Force One. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 12:05 2
    - It's not big enough. Sell Alaska. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 19, 12:09
    - Yes, because the president of the country and a clueless CEO are similar. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 12:08
- When you are reportedly on the verge of going under, ever penny mattes -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 12:02 2
  - Maybe if you can save a few pennies on 100 billion units. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 12:04 1
    - not really. If they can save 20K here, where else can they save 20K? Add all those 20Ks up. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 12:05
- The corruption adds up! -- nm - McCain '08 Nov 19, 12:01
I am shocked. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 11:58
