[Pen-l] Jon Stewart explains use-value

["Charles Brown" <charlesb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon Stewart of Comedy Centralâs Daily Show wrapped up a rant on the
Wall Street bail-out versus the auto industry loans with a plea
Thursday
night to âgive them the moneyâ that had his studio audience
cheering. 

âNow thatâs the things about cars,â Stewart said after admitting
that his first vehicle was an AMC Gremlin, âeven the crappy ones are
useful.

âBut you wonât bail out the people who make cars,â he told
Congress. âYouâll only bail out the people who make car loans. Not
even car loans. The people you bailed out made derivative paper
transfers speculating on the future value of enormous groupings of
said
loans to China.

âFine. Detroitâs business model is bad. We know they lose $2,000
for every car they sell. Wall St. lost $7 trillion without selling
anything. At least when Detroit loses money, we get cars. So give them
the money!â
