After getting scalded for cruising into Washington, D.C. on a private jet in order to beg for billions in corporate welfare, Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company, has finally seen the light and is thinking straight.
His latest offer to Congress: Give me $9 billion in bail out dough, and I will work for $1 a year!
What a deal!
Other "concessions" include selling the five corporate jets and canceling management bonus pay for 2009.
What about 2008 bonuses, Mr. Mulally?
In fact, why would bonuses be contemplated at all when Ford management has reduced the once powerful corporation to a gaggle of pitiful beggars seeking to feast at the public trough?
Here's a counter-offer: The U.S. Treasury keeps that $9 billion, and you can earn whatever you are worth in the free market!
Now THAT is a better idea!
John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
