Big Three auto CEOs flew private jets to ask for taxpayer money - CNN.com

silpol, Brian, Roney Smith and 15 other people liked this

At Wednesday's hearing, Rep. Brad Sherman, D-California, pressed the private-jet issue, asking the three CEOs to "raise their hand if they flew here commercial." "Let the record show, no hands went up," Sherman said. "Second, I'm going to ask you to raise your hand if you are planning to sell your jet in place now and fly back commercial. Let the record show, no hands went up." The executives did not specifically respond to those remarks. In their testimony, they said they are streamlining business operations in general. When contacted by CNN, the three auto companies defended the CEOs' travel as standard procedure. Like many other major corporations, all three have policies requiring their CEOs to travel in private jets for safety reasons. - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

Time to sign the cheque - imran

More on the private jet story. This time from CNN. I can't believe that these companies claim "safety reasons" require them to fly a private jet. That just sounds so lame. I can't imagine it is any safer to fly a private jet than a commercial aircraft and with such a low rate of commercial crashes this justification only makes them look like bigger idiots. At least they got grilled over this and I hope it pressures them to sell those jets. - Thomas Hawk

Play the violin during testimony. - imran

Think they all jetpooled from Detroit? I bet not. - Julie Barrett

Current standard procedure should dictate: Liquidate all excess. Trim the fat! - David Ortiz

this would be second bailout for Chrysler, how many times would they be saved? - imran

Interesting how an appeal to authority is assumed sufficient justification. It's the rules. We make the rules. And thems the rules. - todd

The "safety" argument is also a common tax loophole. By having a company letter on file stating that an executive has to fly by private jet for "safety reasons" the income realized by personal use of that company resource is cut in half. - Derek Dysart

AWESOME headline - Charlie Anzman

@imran: Chrysler at least paid back their first loan and did do well for a time. The corporate atmosphere has changed since then, IMO. As long as the executives get their perks and bonuses, that's all that matters. - Julie Barrett

Compared to all the mismanagement, wasted opportunities and wasted resources committed by these companies, a private jet really pales into nothingness. Get upset about the state they are in and were allowed to continue being in without changing (as other industries had to). It is said that if you loose $2000/month you have a problem, and the banks will shut you down. If on the other hand you lose $2000000/month, the banks have a problem, and they will help you. - Joelle Nebbe

I'm submitting my application now for 1 or 2 million. It's only fair - Charlie Anzman

loan can save any company for few years, maybe decade, time to let Chrysler die. Chrysler has been burning cash (From govt, investors), making bad cars since last bailout. - imran

Toyota's CEO makes ~$900K per year. GM and Ford both pay minimum of $10M/year. There are 1244 Toyota dealerships in the US as of 2007 versus 14,118 GM dealerships. 4,000 of those were just Chevrolet. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

Hahahahaha....hmmmm lets take how much the private jets are worth * the gas it took to fly them there * the pilots and stewardesses they had to hire = They can bail themselves out - Shevonne Polastre

Apparently there IS a done deal. No comment - Charlie Anzman

@ Anzman: you got that right. - imran

the price of jet fuel is outrageous nowadays - sofarsoshawn

GM needs to die. These people need to learn that bad business decisions have consequences and that the American people will not subsidize stupidity. - Aram Zucker-Scharff

it's doesn't matter if these guys are douchebags, there are a lot of hard working people who will suffer if the auto industry doesn't get a bailout - Jeff Woelker via twhirl

Toyota is successful simply because they make quality cheap energy efficient cars for the whole world, according to needs of individual countries, meanwhile GM and Ford make cars for USA, mostly, big boats and gas guzzlers. - imran

imran, very good point. In other countries, the roads are not wide enough to sustain American cars. - Shevonne Polastre

like the banking industry if there are no consequences for unfeasible business practices it just deepens the crisis; a bail-out would just postpone the inevitable & prolong the inefficiencies - sofarsoshawn

Actually, GM and Ford both make sub compacts that aren't available in the US market, and have for years. Why they've not offered those cars in the US is a mystery to me aside from blind greed and pig ignorance. - Bob M. Montgomery via twhirl

Question: Would you trust a Toyota or Ford ? - imran

I'd rather see the $25 Billion spent on tax incentives for retraining those auto workers that possess relevant skills to help establish mass transit projects like high speed rail or to build prefabricated housing made from solar panels. It appears that working for the Big 3 offers little opportunity for the 'American Dream' unless you are an executive officer. Bankruptcy hearings might change that. Bailouts won't. - scott anderson

Reminds me of when the Brazilian president bought a brand-new 777 from Boeing. 6th largest country in the world in territory and the opposition thought the Commander In Chief was good to keep flying in a 40-year-old KC-135. Depending on your job, and on the size of the country you operate from, private jets are no luxury. In the US, it's even more important to have one, because of all the check-in procedures after 9/11. - Rodrigo Jaroszewski

@dcfemella roads are wide enough -- it is high parking and gasoline prices which make american cars wrong choice - silpol

Bush leaving office more unpopular than Nixon - CNN.com

sofarsoshawn, Jeff P. Henderson, Chris W and 59 other people liked this

"No other president's disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year," says CNN polling director Keating Holland. "That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66 percent disapproval rating." Before Bush, the record holder for presidential disapproval was Harry Truman, with a 67 percent disapproval rating in January of 1952, his last full year in office. - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

STDs have a higher approval rating that Bush. - Anika Malone

Isn't the election over? You guys knew that, right? - Gregory Pittman via twhirl

I thought it was over too!! - tony

Are STD's more popular than Democratic Congress too? - tony

It's too bad that congressional approval ratings aren't broken down by party. It's easy for folks to say that Congress's low approval rating is the fault of the majority party, but that logic is at odds with election results where Democrats were re-elected to every post they ran for, while many Republican incumbents lost their seats. - Kevin Fox

@Anika LOL - Costa Walcott

Kevin, rest assured that Democrats in Congress share ratings just as low as the Republicans. The Democrat advancements last Tuesday are due solely to the Obama's coat tails, not to the fact that America thinks they're doing a great job. Proof in point: When the Democrat leadership was speaking several weeks ago on the financial crisis, Wall Street tanked. The minute they shut up, it recovered. That happened every single time they went in front of microphones. Every. Time. - Gregory Pittman via twhirl

Gregory: I'm not sure what you mean. I'd like you to find a single Democrat (or Republican) in Congress who has an approval rating as low as President Bush. Here's a source to get you started: http://www.surveyusa.com/50Sta... The approval rating of an institution is completely different than the approval rating of its constituent members, and it's overly simplistic to try and brand an institution's low approval rating on a single party. - Kevin Fox

I would even go so far as to suggest that the low approval rating of the US Congress is largely due to its perceived ineffectiveness in challenging or reversing the abusive practices of the Executive office. - Kevin Fox

= Kevin, on the ineffectiveness in challenging Bush's policies. - Chris White

So they were ineffective in challenging Bush's policies. They're the majority party in both houses and have been for years and they get low ratings because they were ineffective in challenging Bush's policies. That doesn't even come close to approaching logic. - Gregory Pittman

funny how the conversation is being diverted from bush to congress as if they had anything to do with the last 8 shitty years - Cee Bee

Impeachment off the table, bailout bill, troops still in Iraq, Guantanamo still open for business. No stem cell research. Drilling offshore. What exactly have they done that does not support Bush's policies? They are a complete no-op congress, and I don't understand the logic of anyone who can't see that. - Chris White

...and Truman was one of our great presidents. Nixon was the best Environmental president in 50 years.... and blah blah... proves nothing. Bush did fuck up the loan situation... but popularity polls... make me like him - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ

Cee Bee, are you saying they had *nothing* to do with the last 8 years? I hope not, because if you are, you're showing a gross lack of understanding of the American political system. Chris, indeed they have been a no-op Congress but accomplishing the things you suggest here would have been detrimental for America. No doubt we're about to see just how detrimental. - Gregory Pittman via twhirl

I agree that Congress has been ineffective for the last several years, and that it deserves low ratings. I do however disagree with assertions that the low approval ratings are an indictment of the Democratic party. If that were the case, the Democrats wouldn't have drastically solidified their hold on both houses last week, and I don't buy the coat-tails argument. - Kevin Fox

Well Gregory, you and I must disagree completely, because I believe 1) we never should have gone to Iraq, 2) drilling offshore will yield limited energy and will ruin coastlines, 3) Guantanamo is just another reason for the rest of the world to hate us and does little to protect us from terrorism, and 4) we'll be buying all of our disease-curing treatments from China if we continue to not do stem-cell research. Can you specify which one of these policies will damage us? - Chris White

they've been around for two years and like chris white wrote, have pretty much gone along with the bush administration's follies in order to not step on toes. regardless of that, this thread was about bush and his failures until a few of you"party loyalists" tried to flip the issue in order to cloud/avoid the subject - Cee Bee

It'll be interesting to see if Howard Dean's successor will invigorate Congress beyond simply trying to limit GWB's damage. - Kevin Fox

I'm not so sure the Democrats were merely following Obama's coat-tails. Democrats picked up House seats in states that didn't even go for Obama, and in states that did go for Obama, some Democratic candidates won by much higher margins than Obama did. - Victor Ganata

You can't do very much when the minority party makes sure to block you whenever they can, and even if you manage to push something through, there's a veto pen waiting at the other end. - Victor Ganata

Which party can I vote for that won't take all the taxpayer money to bail out failed businesses, thus putting us deeper into debt, and increasing the risk of the collapse of our currency? Maybe we can count on the Democrats to be fiscally conservative, since the Republicans have certainly forgotten how to do it. But I'd be willing to wager we'll continue to piss away the treasury until some catastrophic event. I'm an avid Obama supporter, but I don't like the direction this is heading. - Chris White

Well, no excuses now. You guys have the ball. Dems: Please give us a date you will cease blaming Bush and take some responsibility. I bet we have to wait til the mid term elections. Kind of like a dog chasing a bus. What do you do when you catch it? Tee hee. - "Oldengrey" Tannenbaum

January 20, 2009. I may keep blaming Bush/Cheney, for the things that need to be fixed (privacy, civil liberties, Gitmo, Iraq), but I won't blame him for continuing to try and block them. - Kevin Fox

At least he's leaving, the sooner we can move on the better... - Grant Bierman

Odd how GWB is so unpopular and Obama is so popular, when they share so much in common. - Charles LePage

The comments of Bush supporters and apologists continue to be as empty-headed and substance free as they have been for the last eight years. They simply can't discuss policy issues in an informed and rational way. That is how we got into our current mess and why it is that Bush has pegged the unpopularity meter. - Sean McBride

Mission Accomplished! - Spidra Webster

Hey guys. here's an opportunity to agree on something. Bush was a terrible president, right? We (all) I hope want the best for Obama, because we want the best for our country, agreed? - Rod Bauer via twhirl

We may not agree he was the absolute worst, but there's no disputing the fact that he was terrible. But, unless you've got a crystal ball that actually works, there's no telling what will happen the next two years (until the next midterms.) With the economic disaster, it's not going to be pretty no matter what the government does. Hopefully we'll make to the other side OK. - Victor Ganata

Whole Foods is an awesome experience, but then so is Trader Joes. Hmm, I'm torn. I'll go to Atkins Farm when I want something totally local, but WF or TJ are the spots! The spot I's tells ya! - Terence Washington

What I find ironic is that there are some things that are in fact less expensive at WF than at other stores. Especially spices: their bulk spices wind up being less expensive than even buying the old cruddy stuff from the Dollar Store. Ours has a good hotbar as well, I eat there for lunch sometimes. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Hmm... I know some folks who have invested more than $425 in Whole Foods. </tongue in cheek> :-) - Ladybug Heather

Oh, and to Terence's point: WF has a local grown initiative program which encourages stores to carry local and regional produce. Should be marked on the signage in the produce department. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I agree with Tina. Spices and some bulk things are cheaper at WF but on the whole, WF seems to be generally more expensive for me. Maybe it's just the stuff that we buy.

I don't see the correlation between Whole Foods and Obama, ACORN or Millionaires. Please elucidate. click! - Terence Washington

when you have the money you can float a sinking ship... click. let's hope Whole Foods is more ethical then Obama and ACORN were. as much as I prefer higher quality consumer goods... a chain of these stores has proven to be a bad business plan... everyone wants a better life... if you want to buy it into existence then it is possible. but don't sell me HOPE when I know it was Soros - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ

if you believe in this store... stop talking and buy the stock... it might be a good short term investment now that it is getting a "Private Equity Firm"... like Obama's America it will be a great short term investment till the rats leave. - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ

James Sooy is an artist currently designing and painting for Texas-based Magnificent Egos, a minatures (as in gaming) company. Art consumes all of his time, professionally and personally, and much of it is centered around character design, which gives him both time — and money — to fantasize about mods on fictional characters.
