Romney taking credit for auto industry success - Yahoo! News
It wasn't the auto industry that was bailed out, it was the auto UNIONS that were bailed out, using taxpayer dollars. Estimates were that $1600.00 was added to the price tag of every car--to pay for retiree benefits--many of whom were retiring after 20 years with 80% pay.
Furthermore--it's more than clear that Romney DID NOT support taxpayer dollars being used to bail out the auto unions--and he was for a managed bankruptcy. Now if he is taking credit for some type of managed bankruptcy--without using taxpayer dollars he needs to clarify himself--but obviously he is NOT talking about what Obama decided to do.
You can frame it any way you want. The fact remains that the auto industry is now doing well, and Romney didn't have a damn thing to do with it. He's a lying sack of shit.
I would love to see a link on how well the auto industry is doing--LOL. I was just down at a car lot last weekend--with 8 salespeople all fighting over 1 customer--that stood around all day long smoking cigarettes. If that's what you consider "good" then God help us.
