The State of the Union 3 National Economy/National Editorial 4 Titled: “More Tax Payer Help” to GM & Chrysler
The State of the Union 3 National Economy/National Editorial 4
Titled: “More Tax Payer Help” to GM & Chrysler
With 17.4 Billion Dollars already given to the Auto Makers in what is known as the “Great Auto Bailout”, what is it going to take for the two Auto Companies to regroup and hold the companies together? The News Monday has the Obama Administration given the two companies failing “grades” meaning "bad performance". The Company's want to be able to get more tax payer money’s to hold up the Automobile Industries.
The reason why the American Economy has seen sever changes of late is mostly because people have already liquidated there assists and many people are now unable to participate in the new marketplace. Whether there is that confidence or not, at times, it seems that some weeks the performances of the markets reflect peoples spending and one’s own purchasing power.
The companies have already had there methods of keeping track of trends and having their experts shed some light on what is selling and what is not selling. The lack of confidence in the market reflects from peoples own experiences on obtaining credit for items such as cars, property, and communication. Many people are being rejected for credit even while the bailouts continue to take place.
It is hard to get new credit and that is what the basic obstacle for the car companies is to sell more cars. The last 5 years plus, the car company’s finance companies have charged people at times high interest to where once the person buys a new car, or used car, he is upside down on that vehicle. The person always is going to be 2000-5000 or more upside down on the one vehicle.
Now there is a gridlock of two things between why the car companies are in disarray and why the American Tax Payer money’s ought to or have to bailout two major companies that have always been considered successful. Part of the issue is that the government wants to use the money as a diversion to get the company's more money anyways. This policy continues where failure is rewarded in the new American Socialist Economy where the tax payer, you and I, do not have the ability to just debate it if so much tax money should go for a particular company or cause? Or does the Tax Payer?
I continue to hear the News Network mention the fact regards to loopholes on the tax payer money going out to company’s such as GM, but have yet to hear them the answer to that loophole that can challenge any Bailout whether it be for the auto industry, bank industry, or another industry. The funny thing, the two do have a parallel on both getting that tax payer money, and still it is not easy for one person to obtain new credit for a car.
It is the double standard and while people have yet been able to come to grips with the collapse of so many companies resulting through the government policies we have seen, now it is the government via tax payer money’s coming to the rescue.
What should GM do and what should Chrysler do knowing that they are going to be powerless on how their finance companies all lend out money to car buyers anyways during these economic times? What is it going to take for the companies to rebound in order for people to keep their jobs and the company's doors open in their given facilities?
While the tax payer gives out more money, how will the 17.4 billion be able to be reimbursed, and do the companies have a strategy in order to be able to sell cars?
One thing that continues to be an obstacle is the auto industries bad news continues to make the rest of the American Economy and companies look bad. Currently the U.S. Economy is still very strong.
It is a good time to invest in U.S. Companies right now. It is a good time for companies outside the U.S. to lease buildings and do business in the United States. There are a lot of good cities for economic growth potential, and once that prejudice within is overcome then things will improve.
To compare the auto companies stock GM now selling at $3.62. Ford is trading at $2.84. Toyota is trading for $65.59. Toyota outsold GM last year, but has been reporting some loses compared to a year and two years ago.
The U.S. Auto Companies should not have to rely on any more tax payers money to bail out the companies. The companies need to first come up with alternative strategies. new makes, new features in the cars themselves to be able to sell more cars. The Companies have all been spending a ton of money on advertising on television spots for news, sports, and entertainment, and now the tax payer has to reimburse that money so the companies can continue to advertise, and to be able to exist. In my opinion still with the bailout of the auto industry, it should not have any more affect on the rest of the U.S. Economy, and the fact that the Press Coverage continues to show the parallel between the failed U.S. Car companies and the reasons why the government has to spend more tax payer money to companies that fail.
The ways to improve the U.S. Economy is by using some of the tax payer bailout money to create jobs in production and industry in states in the United States. Rather than going to another country, companies ought to consider opening their business in Nevada or other states to where the taxes are lower to operate. Some of these states that promote high taxes on their residence and business owners fail to comprehend that as a whole that hurts the National Economy when Businesses are reluctant to base their business in that given state. California loses a lot of business because of high taxes and businesses move for that reason solely, so the government does have some affect on that aspect of the economy.
Currently the 140000 auto workers are in the middle of this failure of the company’s ability to sell cars. What is wrong with the cars, Nothing?
Are people buying other makes? Some people are. But what are you promoting to the car buyer in order for him/her to want to choose the GM or Chrysler, or Ford? What can you offer the car buyer in order to preserve the industry from collapse? After this round of bailout money, will this be the last money’s able to be lent to the auto industry company’s?
There is a lot to consider, but nobody is talking about the fundamentals of the economy before lending all this money out. The borrowing aspect is the main aspect, and then the promotion and advertising aspect to get people to save money and be aware of the savings if there are any need to be considered. The only way for the company’s to sell cars this year while the next years cars are being produced is by giving 0 Interest on all the car loans. Second, those people already in other obligations to other car loans with high interest loans keep the trade in as close to the principle as possible that will give the incentive for people to want to buy a new car and get out of the car loan that they are in.
GM needs to expand eventually and have plants in Iraq and Afghanistan to where the company can produce cars and sell those cars to the nearby market. There is no reason why GM has to go down, and there is no reason for the speculators to continue to talk down the economy from the result of the government failures in policy that has led us to this point.
Currently in Southern California, gasoline was a few weeks ago 2.08 and now at 2.25-2.30. What still is not talked about is who is setting that price of gas, and until the consumer is able to feel secure about the price of gas, and what that price would be even at 2.25, the car industry will always remain up and down. The two barriers are credit and policy why GM is losing money the last 5 years in my opinion, but still what is it going to take for the company to be able to produce cars that people want to buy like before in the first place? There seems to be a lack of interest on buying certain cars GM produces. Single people are buying smaller cars nowadays. Married people and Couples used to buy the SUV’s and some are still driving them. What do you have to offer those car buyers after they complete the financing of the cars they are already in? The tax payer is giving, but not getting anything in return for the money lent out or bailout, only it's the same rhetoric from the leaders on why 17.4 billion may not be enough.
Before when the President was campaigning to be President of the United States, not he, or any of the candidates presented the American People with a basis of an economic plan. It was not until after the Election was over the people were able to see first hand where all the tax payer moneys are going from the lack of having an economic plan in the first place. Many people now see that flaw from the election where the media and News Networks didn’t put enough emphasis on that and now it’s the basis of all their shows on TV.
What Economic Plan? Now it’s called the Stimulus Package, and it is said that it will create jobs and it is for infrastructure. Now the whole world is using the excuse for the infrastructure as a reason for their own government to change the way they are investing in their own economies.
How does GM fit into the global market and how will it be able to sell more cars in the U.S. and in other Countries? GM is Cadillac. GM is a lot of cars and Makes. Ford is a good strong company too. Ford makes the Mustang. There is no reason why the companies can't give zero interestloans to sell new cars while the lending companies are fair with the trade ins. The current car population can be bought then resold to another area of the world and that can be used as credit for payment on the sale of those used cars in the meantime while people are not only trading in their SUV’s, but buying Mustangs again. GM, Chrysler, and Ford can give their customers a gas card that has the price of gas set per gallon to use as an incentive to get people into new cars.
There are a lot of marketing strategies the company's can use, but who is going to deliver on improving the companies status for new credit based on car sales?
With all the Insurance money bailout, one of the obstacles people face in buying a car like a Mustang is the fear that the insurance will be $200.00/month or higher, and too expensive for driving the sports car. The Insurance Companies are also part of the obstacle for people buying certain cars over others by the prices and rates the companies set for coverage showing some prejudice to certain cars. That is a fact.
There are great stocks and companies to invest in. Chevron is a great company with many company projects all over the world. The Energy Giant is trading at $68.90, CVX. US Bancorp is trading at 15.64, Oracle Corporation 18.01, GE trading at 10.78, Cisco Systems at 16.95. Intel 15.42.
In Market News IBM is trading for $94.15. The bizarre News of IBM last week is that the company announced moving branch to India which will result in the loss of 5000 American jobs. The Company that takes some TARP money then moves a plant to India to build computers cheaper. The company’s spokespeople claim it is for strategy and to remain competitive it must move those jobs overseas. What is ironic is that the tax payer gives companies money, then the company wants to move outside the United States with that same money to build the product there and pay the workers there not taking into account that people here will then end up later buying a product that they had already paid for. Buying the next round of products from that move would be that concept of economics, where the tax payer pays twice on the same money.
Every Company is different and every company has the potential to do well by doing business in the United States. Right now the Market Dow Jones Industrial Monday Opens at 7575.00, NASDAQ 1224.50, S&P;P 793.60. Some Industries to consider to investing in, Energy is good like Chevron. Invest in Steel. This is a great time to invest in the U.S. Economy and the American Worker is the best in providing the goods and services for the consumer in many different industries. The talk of the government wanting to take over or overhaul certain industries illustrates how socialist the U.S. Economy has become. The Soviet Union dissolved because its economy dissolved and went broke, and that is what socialist economic policies lead to in the long run for a Super Power. In Order to remain the Super Power, the U.S., and the U.S Tax Payers money needs to be spent more wisely in the future, re-invest to its own economy, own people, and own services, and stop all the deficit spending. The tax payer money needs to be repaid, but who is it going to be? When money is lent out in the fashion we have seen for the bank Industry, Insurance Industry, and now the Auto Industry, what kind of playing field do we give the New Market Investor now to want to invest in the market? How are these companies going to be able to maintain credit without hurting other elements of the economy? Individuals work and production is the basis of the taxes he pays into the system both State and Federal and it is important to maintain a strong work force of individuals at all times to continue to generate that Tax Payer Money.

The State of the Union 3
March 17, 2009
National Economy/National Editorial 1 by www.Jamestowncalif.com The State of the Union 3
The Proposed Housing Plan
Frankly all the proposals the branches have proposed to “save the housing crisis” are of double standard. First the tax payers bail out the banks for 700 billion dollars for the fact that it was for the mortgage crisis and on the contrary it was to more so nationalize banks and print money for capital for certain banks. All of the money for the bail out has already been approved by former President Bush signed, and the legislative branch at the time sold the American People the idea for that bail out was specifically for the Mortgage Crisis or meltdown. Now the New Administration is proposing a New Stimulus Package of 790 Billion dollars saying it’s to create jobs and that the economy is in dire need for that money. It is unbelievable and blatant the fact that over and over it is the policies of the government versus the tax payer, business owner, and student why the economy is 95% in the shape it is in. Not counting AIG and the Insurance Bail Out, now the branches are part owners of all these businesses. The Washington Government of Current under President Obama continues to be at work with new agendas including now going the socialist medicine and insurance care route some call it Nationalizing Health Care. The United States is at a point where the government leaders have made the county & country lose its own identity, at least that is what it looks like from Southern California, and from what I see from the Media Channels, the Network channel, the Radio channels, and the Radio Talk Show hosts.
The Proposed Housing Plan is prejudice in the way the plan is worded almost distorted on paper to show compromise for all the money lent and the money about to be lent. Basically the branches of government have borrowed so much money, I’ll be 37 on the twelve, that a person born into the world today by the time he/she is 37 that loan would not be paid off. The Bail Out Money is a separate issue from the Stimulus Package, but the point is all at once now the Mortgage industry is just the first to be a Socialist Business. When you make your house payment, that money is going to the national company or companies rather than the private sector. And it is the private sector and the moneys the private sector generates that makes the economy strong by generated tax revenues local to state. When you reverse that the national companies will then re spend the money rather than reimbursing that money back for the loan instead spending the money elsewhere.
The Local Economies are taking the biggest hit. With the Washington System has bankrupted the Nation from its policies, borrowing more money, the States for all these years have paid into that system now causing them to also be bankrupt. California has been at a 42 billion dollar budget shortfall. When people lose their homes to foreclosure for whatever reason, then the State takes the hit from moneys that would have thus been generated. If you times a property for 5 years with the market you are seeing at 6000, that is 30000 the state loses from one house. And with the policy for government continues to be basically at economic war against the current American Tax Payer borrowing all this money for the banks, and now the stimulus, there is not much a homeowner can do under the proposed policy to really save some money. Some people’s loans in the first place should have never been sold, and that is the argument that people have against the homeowner taking some of those loans. A lot of people had been working a better job, and the economy was much better because it seemed that it was busy when instead it was all for that preparation that knowledge that some people had and some people didn’t have 2003-2008. To make it worse the charade that people went through to protect their cause, identities, etc, etc. have also caused this economy to now TANK. It is Tanking, I don’t know if you notice, but the stock market went under 6800. What if the Dow Jones went to 0 or below 0? The government policies of favoritism has now ruined the economy, diminished national security, and now everyone is looking at one another skeptically. What difference does it make to some, while to others many are witnessing the end of what we were taught about the United States Economy? Perhaps before it was more socialist then we knew of only that before there was more people participating? It does not matter anymore really what proposal the branches propose because from over here it looks like economic warfare happening first to the homeowners.
For a proposed plan to work on the Housing Crisis, it has been a double standard the fact that without dispute the Bail Out money already was approved for the purpose to at least help some of the home owners. They may have used the argument that the states needed property tax money to it was important to keep the homeowner in especially some whom have been in a house 10-15 or 20 years, and mathematically have already paid a high percentage to the original value of the home. The loans were designed for trickery and now they have been rewarded for this at the expense of the tax payer. I am curious who is the tax payer, and does he have a face? The government just continues to manipulate society from its agencies and it is all bad business the current policy of attack, spend, and key in on. The worst part is when local governments force a property owner to have to sell his house using the argument of eminent domain. Now they are crying why the state does not have any money. Now they are crying why the local malls are slow and stagnant in their business because people are not shopping like before not considering how many residence close to that mall got the boot or were displaced, or got paid from the tax payer to leave and now live in another city shopping there or not shopping.
When the tax payers uses his own money to litigate someone to leave his house or business, who then pays the property tax when the person leaves? The Tax payer now pays for the property taxes where as before the property owner or lease would have been paying. The local governments when using the argument of eminent domain or siding with a franchise over a small business risks the fact that now who is going to make up all that money from the loses generated from that time of the take over. To add Property owners who get displaced over the government threatening that they want the property for condos, socialist housing has already been going on, only that the media and the Washington government continues to think that the American People are not as smart as they are. The economy will never get better under the current plans as long as the homeowners are dishing out all this money for interest for the house, for the loan, and for the taxes. The key for the economy to get better is by having loans redone so that the homeowner can have extra money to spend on shopping. Some people that live pay check to pay check it is tough. Some people have only one income paying the bills while the other either hoards, or does not want to be part of the house payment, so couples break up over it.
The economy depends on couples, men and women, working together at home. It also depends on some love, and commitment. Now it seems to be lost as the competitiveness to make it out there have consumed some people’s ability to want to partner up. The branches spying on people so much had to have forecast this and knew this all along that by the time the economy tanked so would love, and that is what socialism is all about.
The American People have lost their ability to manage the economy as the government leaders are seeming non American. North America 1, the United States, North America 2 Mexico, and North America 3 Canada. There is no economy that NA1 can produce to pay this debt, and that is what it looks like the overall purpose of what the Washington Government want the economy to lead that way people can just stay the same.

NATIONAL EDITORIAL 2/NATIONAL SCIENCE NEWS 4 THE STATE OF THE UNION 3
President Obama is said on Monday to be ready to overturn the ban for use of federal moneys TO FREE UP MONEY for Stem Cell Research and Development
National Editorial /National Science News 4 Friday 3-06-09
The latest ABC News report recently did a report on President Obama Monday planning to overturn the ban of federal moneys and funding for Stem Cell Research. This is a rebuttal on that report and on the policy about to be taken. President Obama with all the new agendas now talking about how to reform health care in the United States is said on Monday that he will overturn the Policy of using Federal Money for Stem Cell Research. This is a very controversial issue and it depends on your personal reasons more so on the issue itself. President Bush signed for no Federal Moneys going for Stem Cell Research. The argument is that the embryo being life will be used to the scientific research and at the time in 2006 he thought along with many other people that Federal Money should not be used for that. That was President Bush’s loudest ovation I remember giving any speech, and at the time, I was critical and disagreed with that. At the time the economy seemed to have more money, but that was not the issue, the issue was whether to use Federal Money for that Research. Should the States have a Vote?
Conservative People tend to sit back and watch all of this. There have been so many normal and moral issues that have been almost forgotten about in the United States. The Same party that supports Abortion without limits and funding for it now is ready to engage in reversing this policy which will now free up money from the Federal Level to the Research and researchers and locations.
I don’t think that first Federal Money should be used for the research. I am for the research of the science, but think between 2006-2009, that the scientists already know a lot of the science. States should have a vote first I think, and there could be some states approved for funding within the state. That way all the States have to agree to have accepted or not accept the federal money for the scientific research.
All this money going around is the mentality of the Democrats with the Bail Out, the Stimulus, the Auto Bail out, and the Insurance Bail Out, it seems that now there is just plenty of money to go around for just about anything.
You can have a compromise on the issue. You can ask 5-10 states to be the focal points of the research. But instead, it is all about money, and not about the embryos that still are considered life. This is a tough issue to right away overturn, and I think that although at the time I was critical of President Bush signing against it, I don’t think that it should be overturned. The reason is that while the argument for stem cell research and the need of federal money to enhance the research, the argument on the other side is that we just don’t know enough about the consequences by the limitless destruction of embryos if this does get overturned. Before 2010, the Democratic Agenda having spokespeople go on TV and say, “This is how the election turned out, and the people voted for change”, and since the party was victorious to just go with it. I don’t agree with that and I hear it and notice it all the time out in the media channels, the network channel, and in society, and some people actually have this attitude. Democrats look different than Republicans I notice, I don’t know what it is. The old mentality is surfacing up without regard. Maybe I am wrong, and I should just not write a story on whether I agree or disagree. Oddly under the new leadership it has been nothing more than a daily disappointment of how bad the economy is, and using the fear tactic similar to former presidents now doing the same thing. This is a party issue, and I am uncertain why the Washington Government is trying to make everything Federal. The Governor of South Carolina has opening stated that he is refusing the money in the stimulus package for his state, and while other state leaders have stated that they will take the states money that doesn’t want it, I think people ought to take a look at what is happening here. The obstacle of them all is your personal opinion which may go the other way.
There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed, reformed, and managed. The way the current leadership in the two branches have already borrowed so much money that they have yet to come up with a plan on how that loan will be paid for it is unreal the fact that there is so much change. But nothing is changing. Sometimes I think that the leadership is really out to get us. I give them the benefit of the doubt. But when I see the issue of overturning the ban of using Federal Money for Stem Cell Research, I question not only the leadership, not only the party, not only the people of the party, but why does everything have to be federal. Now by giving this money for that purpose, the government is now in the business or part owner of the embryos and what happens to the embryos if this passes and things accelerate. Now the Federal government will feel owed when the breakthroughs happen.
Yes the science needs to be developed and research further, but No I don’t think that Federal Money should be given right now for the Stem Cell Research plan. There is a lot the research can lead to, but I don’t know anything about the science so maybe I am wrong. The thing that bothers me is using the embryos to conduct the research and that is a sensitive issue. Not enough people are really talking about it rather diverted from the consumption of all the change issues. I think overturning this shows little regard for those people that supported the last President’s decision on signing against using federal money for Stem Cell Research.
That’s what I think. From this report I found that it was informative, but there is a sense of liberal media on the way the issue itself was presented. www.jamestowncalif.com Under Republican James Strategy all rights reserved

The Auto Bail Out/General Motors in Disarray
The National Economy depends heavily on the Automobile Industry. There is a lot or competition amongst all the car makers, and most if not all make good cars. The workers of those industries have been taking job losses in Michigan and other states, and now General Motors getting billions of dollars of rescue moneys, how does the company intend to use that money to keep the current work force strong. General Motors lost its 1st standing in sales to Toyota, and many consumers have bought cars that GM didn’t make. I bought a GM in 2004, a GMC Yukon Denali, White/light tan, with GPS and full sound system,TV/DVD Player for passengers to view in the back, and the car had everything. It was the best car I had ever driven and bought, and I signed for the auto loan, and I received a fair deal on the purchase of that car with zero interest for 5 years. In 2004-2007 I was able to afford the car payment even losing my job at the time.
My other two cars I had prior to the GM was a 1997 Ford Mustang, and a 2001 Ford F 150 Truck, both good cars, and I look back now wondering why I didn’t keep the Mustang rather than selling it/trade in for the F 150 3.25 years into the loan. After the lease of the Ford F 150 was finished at 3 years, I then purchased the GM. I bought American Cars not only because I like American Cars, and those are all good cars and makes. I knew that it was about me buying American on the Car Deals in order to support the auto workers at the same time. Many people buy Mercedes or BMW or Jaguar. Many people buy Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan,Ford, Honda, Mazda, Chrysler, Suburu, and now on the road you are noticing Smart Cars”funny looking things”.
In 2006 during the heat of the Iraq War there was a debate whether there should be a continuation of the war to stay the course, or change certain upper managers in the Military which happened to accomplish the mission more so by 2009. In 2006, the Price of gas was increasing. When I bought my GM in 2004, gas was at 2.00, and when I had my Ford, gas was at 1.75 a gallon. When gas was at that price, I tended to enjoy driving my car more to other cities and spend money for lunch or dinner there.
The Congressional Leaders had a Hearing, and the Question was brought up:”Who Sets the Price of Oil?” at the time as the Oil was going up from 60.00 USD, and nobody ever forecast that the Oil would go up to 150.00 USD. That raise affected the economy in many ways. “Who sets the Price of Oil?”, and it was asked over and over, and at the time there was little or no control on that like currently the same way.
One of the reasons why the Mortgage Industry also was affected in some areas was by the raise of gas from 2.00 to over 4.50 a gallon. Some Real Estate where people would consider a commute, or unable to sell that other people didn’t want to commute. Those people in those properties such as here in the Inland Empire for example, many people commuted to LA or Orange Counties, and that cost extra money for gas and expenses.
Now the Auto Industry wants to also get bailed out like the banks got bailed out for the mortgage industry, and yet “Who does set the Price of Oil”? Currently in the Southern California gas is fair at 2.15 for 87 2.25 for 89, and it could be better. The strength of the economy revolves around people having leisure time to go out and spend money in different local cities and when gas doubled, people tended not to spend. People were not buying Cars, and people began to trade in their SUV’s. I traded my SUV with 1.5 years left on that loan, and it still hurts today to think that not only I didn’t get my loan modified with GM, the fear of gas going up so much, I couldn’t afford to commute so I gave it up. I miss that car best car I ever owned and they don’t make cars like that anymore.
And looking for a new job on a hot car at the time, people tend to need workers now with more fuel efficient cars, so I traded that car at a zero interest loan for a Hyundai Sonota at 10 percent. The Sonota is a great car, a six cylinder, and I am very happy with it. Now I am 1.5 years into that loan.
“Who sets the price of oil?” is a very important issue where all the tax payers moneys have been funding all these bail outs, yet the policies of that increase at the time is one factor why GM lost sales. They have received a fair amount of tax payer money, yet still there is talk that GM will close shops and lay off workers. One of the reasons why GM also has had gap in sales is because companies like Honda have out sold them in some areas. GM is a good Car product and it is important that now that GM has already received all this bail out money that there is a condition that it is put to good use, including sales forecast, and people will buy American Again. The Incentives are there. As long as the Auto sales people are being honest on peoples car purchases, trade in values which also depends on the price of gas if you have an SUV, and the loan APR. People now are in other car obligations and unable to buy new cars, and every 5-8 years that happens anyway. To encourage people to buy cars will take time for people to recover from all the other factors such as Mortgage expenses, and most of all employment status. People need to have enough money saved to buy and qualify for a car loan. Most people have other cars to trade in. People whom lost there jobs also have to restart there credit where as before one would be working a job 10-15 years and now is only working the job 1 year. The economy has changed and for people to buy cars, first they have to buy the cars they are in so they can buy other cars. Some times the trade ins prematurely could be also a factor why cars are stagnant for sales. The Consumer ladies and gentle is ticked off.
Until there can be a guarantee on how much the gallon of gas is going to cost for the next 5-10 years, the consumer will be uncertain and concerned before making a new purchase, the auto industry will continue to fluctuate because of this factor also. People don’t like inconsistency, and I think this is one of the factors. Many companies like Honda are building Solar Cars, and Honda is a good company now innovating for the future to produce&market those cars. It is unbelievable all the potential the auto industry has by innovating, but by also keeping the gasoline cars produced. Because not only are we 5-10 years from alternative cars, people still like the 8 cylinder and driving strong engines that GM, Ford, and other Makers provide. What the leaders are not discussing about the tax payers money for the Auto Bail Out is why can’t there be a market to export American cars to other countries while at having the Industries for Production be here in the U.S.?
Advertising is also a factor where TV channels charge for a lot of money at times for commercial spots. You always need to advertise and promote the cars your selling, and it is important to produce the cars that are practical and affordable. The key to the Auto Industry recovering are by keeping the price of gasoline where it is now 3-08-09 at 2.15, 2.25 or less, but also to be fair on the new consumer buying that new car. Don’t jam him on the loan. To think how many auto loans the customer paid high interest and had to give up the car, and still paid a high percentage of the car to only have the car resold to another person, and that is the biggest single factor in my opinion are the terms of the loans for the Car Buyer fair 100%?
The Economic Plans of the Leaders in both branches have lent out all this money without ideas or plans on how the companies will reimburse that money, and that depends on the sales of the cars. Not too much is discussed while the money lent is undisputed the tax payer money bailing out all these industries while it has been Nationally hurting the American Workers by all these practices. To add, all the potential of producing cars in the United States even selling abroad, there is not been much discussed on the exporting of American Cars, while many Cars are imported and still paying high taxes for those imports.
What a lot of people have not talked about is all this socialism has hurt business in general. Still the U.S. is Prime Property, have the best people, and have the best potential in many industries that should be creating jobs and a surplus in the economy, yet the government, leaders, and undisputed tax payer that keeps lending out the money, it’s unbelievable the fact that people have not really talked politics with economics on why the tax payer have had to endure so much of this money where as the money local, state, and federal could have been used a lot better than bailing out any industry.

Lakers/Spurs Thursday Night NBA
Lakers/Spurs Thursday Night NBA
Kobe on Jupiter http://jamestownjupiter.com/
The Los Angeles Lakers go into San Antonio to play the Spurs for an opportunity to clinch/win the Pacific Division and do Lakers win 102-95. Coming off the Win versus Houston, the Lakers showed great poise throughout this game against a very worthy opponent. The Game was said to be “a Playoff Atmosphere" and these two teams are very familiar with one another. It was a good basketball game. The Spurs played tough in spurts. The Lakers played good defense especially in the first 12 minutes of the game. The Lakers seemed to have the momentum most of the game playing Lakers Basketball playing team defense and converting on the Offensive end. The Lakers playing outstanding in the first quarter outscore the Spurs 35-17. The Spurs in the second quarter outscore the Lakers 21-18. The Lakers lead at the half 53-38. 3rd Quarter the Spurs outscore the Lakers by seven 32-25. The Spurs Michael Finley had a strong game for the Spurs scoring 25 points his season high and most since March 2005. The Spurs put some spurts together one of 14-4 and the other 8-0. The Lakers were able in insert bench players to provide minutes for the team score 24 points for the Lakers to the Spurs 19. Both teams seemed to be just feeling each other out knowing that the playoffs are just around the corner.
I was able to listen to the Houston game last night on 570am Radio Los Angeles/Orange Counties and watched a glimpse of the game on KCAL 9 when the game was already under 10 seconds and Kobe at the foul line sealing the win. I thought it was important to come off that Portland game and win at Houston. But to then come in San Antonio looking fresh like that going for 2/3 in the road series getting defeated in 2 other road games where the Lakers didn’t play that well at Denver looked confident Thursday Night against the Spurs.
Some 4th Quarter play by play for the Los Angeles Lakers at 7:18 in the game, the Lakers go up 12 points scoring 8-0 unanswered to bring the score at 89-77. Luke Walton scores on a lay up on the left side on the pass from Pau Gasol. Tim Duncan draws the foul on the other end and scores on two free throws to bring the Spurs within 10 points at 89-79.
Kobe and Fischer come back into the ball game. Josh Powell misses on the attempt, and the Pro Lakers Announcers talked about the players effort being needed this game. Kurt Thomas for the Spurs scores on the outside shot about 18 feet swish left wing to bring the Spurs at 89-81 with 6:30. Kobe Bryant scores on the next possession his 20th point to keep the Lakers up ten 91-81. The Spurs Toni Parker scores next on “an Uncontested Lay up” 91-83. This game at this juncture was a back and forth game as Luke Walton scores his 6th point to bring the score at 93-83 at 5:43. Kobe Bryant scores the next hoop for the Lakers on a nice play goes around Gasol putting the screen/pick. And for the Lakers on the defensive end, the Spurs get called for an illegal screen. Lakers looked good by the mid 4th quarter considering that the team played two good teams on the road. Houston is the third seed in the West while San Antonio the second. The Lakers bench play was good scoring 22 at this point and Josh Powell makes a key hoop for a momentum swing on a put back from his miss. The Lakers bench were averaging 17.5 points in this road trip so that was good for the team to have players come off the bench and provide points and minutes. Sasha Vujacic scored 6 points.
After the break, the Spurs gained momentum as Lamar Odom goes up for a dunk and challenges Tim Duncan (donuts) and Duncan stuffs Odom hard on that play. The teams exchange misses as Kobe misses, Duncan misses, Kobe again on the other end misses and at under 5:00 Michael Finley breaks the poor shooting that spurt making a three pointer for this 25th point to bring the Spurs within seven 93-86. “Finley’s Night” Joel Meyers says, and he was right on that play. The Spurs score out of nowhere with Parker scoring at the 3:30 mark to bring the Spurs within five 93-88.
Then came the Lakers, and the play the Lakers fans were all waiting for that burst of speed for the Dunk and it came when Kobe passes to Gasol and Pau scores on the dunk at 3:03 the score 95-88. Spurs come right back with Duncan making a pass to Kurt Thomas on the uncontested jumper is converted 95-90 at 2:45. Thomas played a good game for the Spurs. “Both teams responding down the stretch” ref Lakers broadcasters said. Kobe misses his third outside shot in a row by possessions and here comes Toni Parker for THREE, and he scores:”Lookout” said Joel. It is down to a Two point game 95-93, and what a game for the Spurs fans to watch and be apart of. You can always count on the Spurs giving that 100% especially against the Los Angeles Lakers and likewise. At 2:18 Stu Lanze mentions that the Lakers were up by 10 points just a minute ago.
The Big Hoop for the Lakers comes next play as Kobe first draws a foul to force Mason out of the game with his 5th foul brings in Hill guarding Kobe on the next play from in bounce: KOBEEEEE for 3 left side over Hill, and it is good, Lakers go up 98-93, and that was a back breaker for the Spurs in my opinion. The Spurs at the 3 point line were 11/16. Duncan comes right back playing hard all game to bring the Spurs within three points at 98-95. Lakers come back with a sweet hoop next with Lamar making a nice pass in the lane for the reverse Gasol scores to bring the Lakers up five 100-95 at 1:15. Lakers on defense come up with a jump ball opportunity as Lamar Odom got his hand on the ball which forced the jump where the Lakers get the tap. Lakers unable to convert on that tap, but do hold the Spurs on defense as the Lakers press the Spurs and force the pressure in the half court and Finley misses which sealed the game. As Joel said “The Lakers are in the driver’s seat”. Sasha makes two FT’s but Lamar Odom misses two at 19.7. The Lakers win 102-95 and with this win get the Number 1 seed in the Western Conference and the Pacific Division title.
In the stands a fan having a Kobe #24 MVP banner, the Lakers Kobe Bryant scores 23 points with 6 assists and 4 rebounds, Pau Gasol 23 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, Lamar Odom 12 points and 10 rebounds, Fischer with 10 points and Ariza scores 10. The Lakers go 43-83 FG’s at 51.8%.
For the Spurs, Finley scores 25, Parker 25, Duncan 16, Thomas 8 points. The Spurs go 38-73 at 52% and at 3 point FG’s the Spurs go 11-17 64.7%. Lakers go 12-15 at 80% from the foul line while the Spurs go 8-16 at 50%. There were 2 lead changes and 4 times this game was even. Spurs outscore the Lakers by one 25-24 in the 4th. Lakers win 102-95 play Dallas Sunday. Lakers maintained their poise. The Lakers made big plays and hoops down the stretch. Pau Gasol gets the post Game Interview. Of course John Ireland asked him about the Portland Game.
The Lakers are 23-9 on the road with the best standing in the NBA at 52-13.

Lakers Report: Los Angeles visiting Portland Monday Night NBA
Lakers Report: Los Angeles visiting Portland Monday Night NBA

Kobe on Jupiter
Not Monday Night at Portland
"Oh Man", the Los Angeles Lakers go into Portland with the best standing in the Western Conference & NBA, but that meant absolutely nothing to the Portland Trailblazers putting on a Whooping versus LA get the "W" 111-94. This is a game Lakers fans would like to forget, but games like this remind Lakers fans of that Celtics game. Same kind of feeling during the game in the mid quarters as Portland's Super Stars played some exceptional basketball. "On off night" for the Lakers is an Understatement, and it does hurt to go into Portland like that and get beat in that fashion. I was very impressed of the Portland style game, and there point guard was just too tough for the Lakers, and that man is Brandon Roy.
The Blazers outscore the Lakers 25-16 in the first quarter, and while it seemed that LA would regain momentum, that was not so. This game was a game that humbled Lakers fans as everything is looking good, and fans and players are smiling, but there are teams in the Western Conference that can compete and even beat the Lakers. The Blazers out played the Lakers on the Offensive end and it was not fun to watch.
The score at 32-51 in the 2nd quarter as Roy passes to Aldridge for the slam dunk. Then came the 3 pointers and the outside game where the Blazers were not only scoring hoops on the Lakers defense, but they were looking good doing it scoring all those points meaning the Lakers on defense were looking not so good. The score goes up to 58-34, and Blazers role players like Outlaw were making the hoops at 16 early points. The Blazers go on a 10-0 run. Kobe was not making his outside shots during the early part of the game and on his miss, Gasol follows up to bring the score at 60-38, at 61-38 at the half time. For the Lakers Kobe scoring leads LA with 12, and Gasol with 10 points. The Blazers outscored the Lakers 36-22 in the 2nd quarter to give the Lakers its largest deficit at half time this season and lowest point production for a half down an uncanny 23 points. The Lakers fans couldn't wait to see James Worthy and Jim Hill at the Jack and the Box Halftime report.
Funny when I walked into the door and turned on the TV how happy I was that the Lakers were playing live on KCAL 9.
The Lakers broadcasters do a great job at the booth to telecast the game, and they were doing the best they can to give the fans that hope the team can bounce back from this deficit. I actually thought the Lakers would come back, and it took me till about 4 minutes left in the 4th to realize that this is just on "Off Night" for the Lakers. Still, Lakers players don't like to play that much like Poo Poo in front of very dedicated fans. Portland laid it on them, and it was one outside shot after another all game. Brandon Roy exposed the Lakers weakness on Defense and the true point guard how great he plays that position just too tough for the Lakers.
Brandon Roy for the Blazers scores 27 points a plus +30 and 10-11 at the free throw line. Outlaw scores 22, Aldridge scores 16, Pryzbilla scores 12, Fernandez 11, Blake 8, Batum (Raider)(Bantom Books) scores 8, and Frye 7 to give the Blazers 111 points on 48% FG's, 11-24 3 point FG's at 45%, and there were 4 lead changes and 0 times was this game tied. The Blazers being that 5 seed played like a 1-3 seed, and at home were spectacular Tuesday Night on all ends. It was good basketball to watch, but not for Lakers fans. The Lakers can consider this an off night. Still, it is important to come back in that Houston Game Wednesday Night with a better performance than that. "What was that?" A lot of people today were talking about the fact that after this game, that the Lakers winning the Championship it would be hard for this team. We will have to find out how the Lakers bounce back from a humbling game at Portland. The Lakers Kobe Bryant I thought missed a lot of outside shots. The Lakers as a team didn't look good on the offensive plays against a very acrobatic Blazers team. The Lakers had no answer to the penetration of Brandon Roy, on the inside/outside game of the point guard to his players, nor on the glass early in this game where Pryzbilla was effective down low.
For the Lakers Kobe scores 26, Gasol 18, and Farmar scores 12 points.
Lakers Trevor Ariza is ejected from the game in the 2nd half for a flagrant foul on Fernandez where he landed on the floor hard after going for a lay up at full speed, Ariza fouls him on the arm, and Fernandez was on the floor for over 15 minutes before he was carefully carted off the court in a stretcher.

Portland outscores Los Angeles 23-18 in the third quarter while the Lakers outscore the Blazers 38-27 in the fourth to get the "W" 111-94.
Roy played a very smart and physical basketball game Monday Night against the Lakers. The Lakers are 50-13 the 1 seed, and the Blazers are 40-23 the 5 seed winning 2 in a row in the Western Conference. (The Lakers the last 10 are 7-3, Portland 7-3, and the Jazz 10-0)
