Much of his "loss" is probably a paper loss - my hunch is these execs live rather nicely. I just can't muster up sympathy for execs who arrive with tin cups in hand via their private jets and NO plans for the money they're begging for. Imagine yourself going to a bank for a big loan and not having a plan for the money - you'd be laughed out the door. I have heard transportation for these auto exec's return trip to DC in early Dec will be via an auto motorcade - let's hope they have the good sense NOT to use SUVs!!!
