What does that have to do with what I said, addressed, or even quoted? Here is what I did address. MarAzul said that Obama had spent more on GM and Chrysler than the last 10 presidents had on the Navy. What I didn't address. Everything that you posted in post # 56, 39, 42 and 47. Oh, and apparently bending you over?! Seriously, for real. What the hell are you talking about? The things you have brought up have had absolutely nothing to do with anything remotely close to what I addressed. It's as if you're reading something that I didn't say. Actually, it's like I'm talking about a biathlon, and you're quoting me and then asking me to talk about the Yugo.
that proves Obama spent more on the Bailouts (which he didn't actually spend, but that's another story) than the last 10 presidents did on the Navy?
I'm with you man. I worked back there doing some golf tourneys back when he was on trial and had all the local guys tell me all about the scandals. That said, this town has been on a downward spiral for decades and would be in the same shape had he been mayor or not. Papa, you are a bright man. Look past the Republican vs Democrat thing for a sec(if you can) and give me an honest opinion of what happened and how can they fix it.
Really? Well look it up, Dems have been managing Detroit since the late 50s. The city is bankrupt and can't pay the bills, now who the fuck do you want to blame?
The Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers cost about 700 million a piece now. Two and half times as much as the first 60 cost. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/06/06/billions-spent-on-new-arleigh-class-destroyers-for-us-navy/
Which proves that the bailout cost more than the last 10 presidents worth of $$ spent on the Navy....?
HCP asked very nicely. I'm, gone, if the topic does return to Detroit, perhaps I'll post on the subject.
From your own link, "Taxpayers spent $182.3 billion on AIG and $49.5 billion to rescue GM." and "Congress approved $700 billion for the financial rescue in October 2008, and the bill was signed into law by Bush in the midst of a presidential election campaign that Obama won."
JUST DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE COCKSUCKERS THAT IS SO CLOSE MINDED YOU BLAME THE SAME PEOPLE FOR FUCKING EVERYTHING! Open your eyes up and look for other reasons for this travesty and don't take over a quality thread. I can't stand motherfuckers who blame the other side for everything! Shit isn't so cut and dry.
You do understand the point of providing links, right? Because no where in that link did it provide anything close to proving that the bailouts cost more than the last 10 presidents budgets for the US Navy, something you claimed and THE ONLY THING I WAS ADDRESSING IN MY POST.
The irony that a link that was broken is your proof that the bailout cost more than AT MINIMUM the 1.2 trillion spent on the Navy between just 92 and 2004. Not counting 76-91 and 2005 through 2013. And the reason I bring up 92-2004 is because A: the website I went to only went up to 2004 and B: I got tired of calculating it up to that point and figured that anyone with an ounce of sense would see that if in just 12 years the US Navy budget grossed 1.2 TRILLION dollars, it would have been far greater than the amount spent on the Bailouts. Even if doubled.
Interesting read saying the Unions aren't to blame. http://www.forbes.com/sites/johntam...bankrupt-detroit-but-great-american-cars-did/
