Budget Bill Includes $25 Billion for Automakers

The latest budget bill from the U.S. Senate allegedly came together under a veil of secrecy and will be sent to the president to be signed. This bill is what is being discussed when you hear about Democrats lifting the ban on offshore drilling on the news. It is a different measure than the energy bill we discussed last week from the U.S. House of Representatives. 

A budget bill needs to pass before an Oct. 1 deadline, and the majority of the bill includes major funding for the Pentagon ($488 billion) Homeland Security ($40 billion) and veterans and military ($73 billion).

In comparison, the $25 billion in low-interest loans for the U.S. auto industry to fund advanced technology doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. While it won’t fix everything wrong with the Detroit Three, it should lead to more-efficient cars as well as alternative-fuel and hybrid vehicles in the next few years from Ford, GM and Chrysler.

Is this big 3 "bail-out" really to help create more efficient vehicles? I feel we as taxpayers, are simply paying for their bad business decisons.

I admit it, I made some bad financial decisions when I was younger. I received absolutely zero bail out. I took responsibilty and paid my debts off. Why can't the big 3 do the same?

Now that could be terrific information and facts and you can now use it for getting a website name that may one) Inform your website visitors what it can be that you really do and 2) hold some really amazing search terms that you simply will need to goal to rank with the serps.
