Ugh, I had the perfect picture for this thread, it was where Bart walks into the auction to buy some property and sees no one ponying up any cash for an unused warehouse. He shouts "A buck!" and wins. You kow what I speak of, but this is life imitating art that seemed so nonsensical it could never be true.

I just wanted to post this sentence saying that picture and go back to looking for it; I will be back with it. This topic interests me, thought it might use some humor.




Now that I go that out of our way, I kinda see some parallel where the steel industry in the USA isn't as precarious as the episode would have you believe, but I could see a Milhouse standing there kinda confused about what to do when his new toy collapses from its inability to stand on its own.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think the Serbians are children, I'm sure they're competant when it comes to things like this.

Everyone roll your pants into your socks anyways.

So thats obamas plan to save american jobs. Save jobs in serbia? You got to be kidding me!

This is about the government of Serbia doing this for a plant in Serbia !!

Not Obama !

Obama should watch though.

A $1 deal to save jobs is better than a loan to a comapny that goes bankrupt here in the U.S. !!
(like Solyndra and a few others !)

Do you even bother to read things? Or do you think Obama is president of Serbia?

As for the OP are you suggesting the US buy failing companies? Sadly I do not think the Serbs will be able to sell it because whomever buys will have the same problem, losing money. To get a buyer they will have to allow that buyer to cut jobs to make a profit and that would ruin the entire point of it all. I wish it was that easy to fix problems like this.
