"costing US taxpayers" ???
Do we really anti up the billions to GM for the stock ? Or are we giving GM the money with the stock as collateral ? Or is "Costing US taxpayers" just the morning buzz words and talking points provided to MSNBC by Politico, in order to get the conversation on the air twisted to the right?

1. it's just a good catchall phrase to get people mad. they stop listening to anything else
after hearing that. It makes no difference if it is true or not. kind of like saying 'you people' when trying to persuade someone. they don't listen to anything else you say after that.

2. I cracked up when Imus said "you people" to Al Sharpton
Thought in Al's spittin and fumin he was going to lose his Religion right there on the air.
