Chrysler's Sweetheart Deal

Published May 04 2009, 11:30 AM by Steven Stark

At some point, the voters are going to notice whether or not Obama's economic programs are actually working and how much money actually went out of their pockets into someone else's. And when they do, watch out. As well as the administration is doing in some other areas, its economic policies continue to be a disaster. And if they don't work, nothing else matters.
