| Sachs: Don't ease the conditions, that's for sureThu, 20 Nov 2008 10:51:11 -0800 by NancyPelosiOn November 19,2008, the House Financial Services Committee held a legislative hearing on extending the Department of Treasurys Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to the U.S. auto industry. The draft legislation will extend the recently passed TARP program to help the financial stability of the American car industry. Testifying on the third panel were Mrs. Annette Sykora, Chairman, National Automobile Dealers Association, Mr. James S. McElya, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Cooper-Standard Automotive, Inc., Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director, The Earth Institute; Quetelet Professor of Sustainable Development and Professor of Health Policy and Management, Columbia University, and Dr. Matthew J. Slaughter, Professor of International Economics, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College. For a full archived hearing or to read prepared testimony, visit: http://www.house.gov /apps/list/hearing/f inancialsvcs_dem/hr1 11908.shtml"First, before getting to the specifics of Section 136, we should not ease the conditions. We should see this as an opportunity to enforce the conditions.I actually am more optimistic than the three CEOs that we heard, that they could be accelerated even more, because when you consider that the Chevy Volt promises to be a leapfrog technology, in fact, because we'll go from hybrid to plug-in hybrid, we're on the verge, in my opinion, of getting back to U.S. technological leadership.GM also has invested more than $1 billion in hydrogen fuel cells. And Chrysler, I think very impressively, is looking at extended-range electric vehicles.Don't ease the conditions, that's for sure."

That's my request. You know, it's for all of us. There's nobody that will not be affected. And this idea, let markets work when there are no markets, is the idea of how Lehman Brothers triggered the biggest worldwide crisis in a generation. Don't do it again with this industry. Two in a row, we're really into depression." Related: sachs financial services congress auto gm ford chrysler economy recession depression | |
