Yep, Forbes is a leftist publication alright:

Taxpayers Don't Have Government Motors To Kick Around Any More - Forbes

Taxpayers lost $11 billion and you consider that a success?

Yep. Taxpayers 'lost' a lot more than $11 billion dollars a month on the Iraq Fiasco which went on for years. That said, there were many pluses in the article which you either ignored or chose to ignore - lies by omission are as dishonest as lies by commission.

Alert! Far left propaganda! Alert!

The GM bailout is net profitable given the increased tax revenues and decreased government entitlement payouts that have resulted and will continue because of the saved jobs.

both parties authorized and funded the Iraq fiasco. just as they did viet nam, kosovo, and afghanistan. our foreign policy is a bi-partisan fuck up.

Red herring aside, what's dishonest is your implication that your beloved Democratic party wasn't at fault for that when the truth is they went hand and hand with the Republicans into that fiasco.

And what's even more butt stupid is to argue to a libertarian who opposes both of those that one justifies the other.

You're not doing very well....

True. If I remember correctly, vietraq was costing the taxpayers $2BILLION/WEEK in 2007. Now they're backing Syria too

http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aairaqwarcost.htm

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the cost of "prosecuting" a war against Iraq at up to $9 billion per month, on top of an initial outlay of up to $13 billion for the deployment of troops to the Persian Gulf region.

rw'ers have no prob blowing huge wads of cash overseas. Its when its spent at home that REALLY pisses them off

The GOP's government shutdown cost US $24 billion, .05% of GDP and 120,000 jobs.
The government loan to GM cost US $10.9 billion, saved 1,000,000 jobs and kept the recession from becoming a depression.

Typical liberal, taking credit for someone else's work.

Wasn't GM bailout part of TARP?

Are you calling Redfish a liar or-----or are you saying Bush was/is pro-union?

I'm not arguing with your point above, but consider nobody died or were maimed by the purchase of GM Stocks and jobs were created producing durable goods which support an entire industry. War profits profiteers and takes from all of us, especially so the war in Iraq and the war in Vietnam.

Yes, NYcarbineer doesn't grasp the concept of opportunity cost. The $11 billion government lost would have stayed in the economy and generated taxes as well, without starting in a $11 billion hole.

Comparing a war to a bailout, but I guess in far left land they are one and the same.

And your talking lie is that the Democrats weren't equally responsible for their deaths. They were. That was a hand in hand disaster. But hey, you've never been above the hypocrisy of using dead Iraqis and US troops for cheap political points before, you're not about to start now...

Deflection alert.
How much did 9/11 cost? The IRaq War prevented future 9/11s.

Wrong, cupcake. dimocrap scum shut the government down, not Republicans.

And, BTW?

How's that obamacare thingie working out for you?

You know, the little item that you refused to budge on and so shut down the gubmint...?

Yeah, that one. How's it going with that?

Come on, you're really not so dumb as to believe ... I guess you are. Let's wonder how much income tax revenue was generated by the taxes paid by those whose jobs were saved, how much in sales taxes were generated by purchases by these employees and those who purchased the car and trucks they produced?

Then how are you still on the boards?

And I know that you don't see the CBO as creditable until you need them. Hence the projections of the CBO on Obamacare.
