General Motors Becomes Government Motors: Only the Beginning / Companies / US Auto's
By: LewRockwell
William L. Anderson writes: The news that Chrysler is going to file for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a small dose of reality in a cycle of Alice-in-Wonderland reports that have been filtering from Washington over the "restructuring" of the American automobile industry. Unfortunately, even a real-live bankruptcy is going to be so politicized that the outcome will be pretty much what the Obama administration has been demanding all along: a government-union partnership of domestic automobile companies.

McDonald's: From Stock Market Leader To Market Laggard / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Guy_Lerner
Let's flashback to January and February, 2009 when the market was in a swoon and McDonald's Corporation (symbol: MCD) was the market leader.

Liquidate General Motors / Companies / US Auto's
By: LewRockwell
General Motors and the U.S. government have several characteristics in common. Both are unwieldy behemoths which have become debt-laden, wealth-destruction machines. Their workers are overpaid and under-productive (for Federal employees, counterproductive is a more apt description). Foolish creditors have kept these monstrosities afloat and will eventually end up regretting ever having lent these debt addicts a dime. Yet, each one is a public-relations machine preaching to the citizenry that it is indispensable.

By: Global_Research

Bank of America’s Ken Lewis: Another Scapegoat / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Mike_Stathis
The news of Andrew Cuomo's letter to Congress revealing that former Treasury Secretary Paulson threatened to fire Bank of America's CEO Ken Lewis and oust the board if they tried to block the Merrill Lynch deal is not at all shocking to me.
