Official: Obama wants to halve budget deficit

Official: Obama wants to halve budget deficit: "Obama's proposal for the 2010 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 projects that the estimated $1.3 trillion deficit he has inherited from former President George W. Bush will be halved to $533 billion by 2013. That's a difference of 9.2 percent of the overall economy now vs. 3 percent in four years.
'We can't generate sustained growth without getting our deficits under control,' Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address that seemed to preview his intentions. He said his budget will be 'sober in its assessments, honest in its accounting, and lays out in detail my strategy for investing in what we need, cutting what we don't, and restoring fiscal discipline.'"

GM, Chrysler seek billions more, to cut more jobs

GM, Chrysler seek billions more, to cut more jobs: "Chrysler said it will cut 3,000 more jobs and stop producing three vehicle models.
The grim reports came as the United Auto Workers union said it had reached a tentative agreement with GM, Chrysler and Ford Motor Co. on contract changes. Concessions with the union and debt-holders were a condition of the government bailout.
GM said it could need up to $30 billion from the Treasury Department, up from a previous estimate of $18 billion. That includes $13.4 billion the company has already received. The world's largest automaker said it could run out of money by March without new funds and needs $2 billion next month and another $2.6 billion in April."

On the economy, Zetsche said the slowdown has not had much impact on Daimler's business so far. This means that Daimler customers are not jumping on the subway, at least not the ones that sell real estate, he joked"

Was it taken out of time, or out of context asked the publisher'e editor.

Yes!!!! I found it.

Found what asked the highly overpaid, undertrained, overtired worker on the factory shop floor?

The suitcase with the cash!

"What suitcase with the cash?" The shop steward now left his post to hear the gossip on the factory shop floor. What is the horrible sound ? asked Shop Stew

Oh that's just the safety inspection failed whistle, we hear that all the time!

We'll shut the darn thing off, I'm trying to hear the latest from Zetsche, he just got back from DC! stated Stew clearly giving a direct order.

Sure, whatever your my Union Rep, oUo W. shut the switch, now it was just the usual clanging, blanging, sparks flying from the spot welder line, of the old assembly line.

A blast of Hard Rock music came pouring into the machine workers parking lot. One buy one everyone of the 140 different assembly lines came to a screaching halt as people started to line up for the roach coach to purchase some greasy heroes, burgers, and burrittos. Others walked swiftly to their lockers grabbing their lunches snacks a coffee.

Yes! The 10:30 AM break, life on the line does not get better then this except of course at the 12 noon lunch hour!

Stew and oUo W. abruptly stopped talking. The break stops everything. That was the first thing that was explained during the mandatory 3 hour training session for new line workers. Zetsche wae s left standing alone tightly gripping onto the suitcase full of cash he just brought back from D.C.

Real satire from A.M. Sanders.

The Interview: Person Of the Year Barack Obama - Person of the Year 2008 - TIME

The Interview: Person Of the Year Barack Obama - Person of the Year 2008 - TIME

On Friday, Dec. 5, the President-elect sat down with TIME managing editor Richard Stengel, editor-at-large David Von Drehle and Time Inc. editor-in-chief John Huey in Obama's spartan transition offices in Chicago to discuss his plans for the coming months, the improbability of his victory and how he's fighting to stay in touch with the real world from inside the presidential bubble. Excerpts from their conversation

The Interview: Person Of the Year Barack Obama - Person of the Year 2008 - TIME: "When voters look at your Administration two years from now, in the off-year election, how will they know whether you're succeeding?

I think there are a couple of benchmarks we've set for ourselves during the course of this campaign. On [domestic] policy, have we helped this economy recover from what is the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression? Have we instituted financial regulations and rules of the road that assure this kind of crisis doesn't occur again?

Have we created jobs that pay well and allow families to support themselves? Have we made significant progress on reducing the cost of health care and expanding coverage?

Have we begun what will probably be a decade-long project to shift America to a new energy economy? Have we begun what may be an even longer project of revitalizing our public-school systems so we can compete in the 21st century? That's on the domestic front.

On foreign policy, have we closed down Guantánamo in a responsible way, put a clear end to torture and restored a balance between the demands of our security and our Constitution? Have we rebuilt alliances around the world effectively? Have I drawn down U.S. troops out of Iraq, and have we strengthened our approach in Afghanistan — not just militarily but also diplomatically and in terms of development?

And have we been able to reinvigorate international institutions to deal with transnational threats, like climate change, that we can't solve on our own?"

"trillion dollars' worth of bad ideas — sprawl-inducing highways and bridges to nowhere, ethanol plants and pipelines that accelerate global warming, tax breaks for overleveraged McMansion builders and burdensome new long-term federal entitlements — would be worse than mere waste. It would be smarter to buy every American an iPod, a set of Ginsu knives and 600 Subway foot-longs.'
