  Maybe they should call Icahn. He seems to have a ton of money to invest in crappy financials.

  This is also an indirect way of backing up Government Motors and Fiat, who still depend upon GMAC for much of their financing.

  Note how little play this story gets tomorrow. This will be buried, and the funding will continue.

  Definitely, tuna. Analysts were expecting GMAC to ask for $2.81 to $5.61 billion in free money. DOW up 10000% tomorrow.

  I should default on my GMAC mortgage; might be the only way to get my money back from being bent over by bankers and my "government".

  While at first glance everyone thought the big story was GM, the Admin said it was to big to fail, would cost 3 million jobs, this was a facade, the real story was GMAC, it was GM primary profit center. There is no way the admin will or can allow GMAC to fail, it would be the end of the Auto industry, the loss of all our money and the end of government de facto control over car design, the reason, lenders are not lending to car buyers, the risk of non payment is way to high in this economic environment, so GMAC is the lender of first choice. As a result the government has in fact guaranteed by its association that GM will not fail nor GMAC no matter at what cost to the American taxpayer. GMAC is the juice that drives the industry
