And the Progressive March forward carries on.

I doubt that group cares much about the pensions of Indiana state employees.

Detroit is the canary and all involved from the C level to the apprentice toilet washer share in its demise and it is a damn shame, but the one name on that list of lenders that has always intrigued me is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill Gates is also on the BOD of Berkshire Hathaway. BRK has made some interesting moves in the past few years that, if I put my tin foil hat on, would benefit greatly form the total destruction of labor as well the end of automotive in the US, with investments in Harley Davidson and Chinese auto suppliers. But then I also find it interesting that Germany shunned allowing/financing the Fiat Opel purchase so maybe they are flexing muscle as well, it appeared they wanted to use this as an opportunity to place Opel as a partner in a Fiat/GM/Chrysler/Opel monolith.

I did find it hypocritical of Gates to join the “non-TARP recipients” group in this. If we remember back BRK made out like bandits when taxpayers covered the unsecured debt of AIG and Fred/Fan.
