filingaccount Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Have they no shame? General Motors seeks bailout funding from Thai government to keep business afloat. GM without shame. Rightfully, Thailand’s industry minister says he declined the request because it is not a responsibility of the state and suggested the auto maker rewrite its financial plan.

jackdanielsesq Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If a credit card company offered you zero percent interest payments, n your outstanding balances, you would also drop your current card company like a hot brick. Thats all this is - its about cheap money - as it should be. Why must we pay some moroon banker 25% and he is allowed to pay us only 1%, before taxes. hen he gambles it on Wall St & loses his shirt, and then some. Remember, its still our money.

12DrinkMore Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Remember, its still our money. Wrong Dude, all that is left are our debts. And they are to be paid off by you, your kids and their kids. OH! and I believe that the bankers are awarding themselves 18,400,000,000 in bonuses this year. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/KB05Dj02.html Despair, give up and die. Unless you are a banker...............................................

Crash999 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Have they no shame?General Motors seeks bailout funding from Thai government to keep business afloat. GM without shame. What's the shameful act here? The engine plant as it stands now doesn't have funding due to GM's well-publicized financial issues. GM is applying for a loan from the EXIM bank which has to go through Ministry of Finance approval. Getting a loan is a normal part of business operations- it's not a 'bailout' unless the money is given as a grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
