June 11th, 2012 8:50 AM
The $82 billion auto bailout has been a Crony Socialist nightmare mess. We’re going to lose at least $30 billion on the deal. And that’s only if the Barack Obama Administration’s math can be trusted - a dicey proposition at best.
The Administration eviscerated two hundred-plus years of bankruptcy law, throwing bond holders over the side to over-reward their United Auto Workers shock force…

June 7th, 2012 5:17 PM

Miley Cyrus, Miss USA Get More Time Than Wisconsin Recall on Big Three
June 6th, 2012 2:11 PM
