Political News- Bob Corker pounces on GMAC bailout plea- Detroit News

From Detroit News—-

…..But Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., blasted plans Thursday to give GMAC more aid.

“Continuing life support to an institution like GMAC is a major mistake,” Corker said. “At what point are we going to stop propping up zombie institutions to support industrial policy through our banking system?”

GMAC spokeswoman Gina Proia said the company is working hard to transform itself.

“We intend to comply with the Federal Reserve’s final assessment on any additional capital they determine is needed at GMAC,” she said. “The management team at GMAC has been executing an unprecedented number of initiatives to transform the company, restore financial health and maximize the investment by our shareholders. … GMAC is a key part of the solution to support the U.S. auto industry by making the appropriate level of credit available to consumers and businesses, including auto dealers.”

Political News- Congress passes temporary spending bill- reuters

From reuters- WASHINGTON - A temporary measure that would keep the U.S. government running through Dec. 18 cleared Congress on Thursday, giving lawmakers more time to work on spending bills for the current fiscal year.

The measure now heads to the White House for President Barack Obama to sign into law, presumably before current government funding runs out on Sunday.

It was attached to a $32.24 billion bill that increases the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget by 26 percent.
