If you dont read the other sides views you can never hope to enlighten yourself enough to become anything but partisan. The sad but true part of the piece is that politics are going to continue to hamper any economic recovery. Whether it is right or wrong Obama's presidency is going to be judged by how he muddles through this economic mess while holding party lines and keeping his far left base and allies like labor unions and trial lawyers happy. If he can accomplish this he really is the messiah.

Agreed. You need perspective of all the sides.

the people wanting the autos bailed out are driving lexuses and toyota's and bmers' - what is going on here folks?

Thats a pretty blanket generalization isnt it?

there is a reason why the big 3 , or just the big 2 now are failing , why pump gov't money into an industry where we have lost our competitive advantage??

i don't think that's true.

i drive a foreign car but i don't want the autos bailed out- they made their bed, now sleep in it. enough of the bailouts due to poor decisionmaking.

Let them fail.

Let nature run its course.....it would be the best thing believe it or not.

i agree , but a lot of dems want the autos saved , but , what is the reason

Predator style my friend, predator style

I was told by an unreliable source that the big 3 are indirectly responsible for 10% of the workforce in the U.S.

......morty is 100% correct.

dying industry should not get gov't aid , these co's have cost structures that are no longer vialble , why should the taxpayer spend money to bail out an industry that is going to fail

I heard someone say this on CNN last night also...I don't know the right answer

if they fail , more foreign compt s/b allowed to come in and build plants and give jobs to americans here who need them

the gravy train days of workin at the big 3 are over as long as americans want auto from japan and europe

Easy Anti Lou Dobbs

How long do you think it would take for a "group" to buy the physical plant of these defunct companies and start buildling cars the right way with a work force of people that have to work the right way and not be paid like hospital employed doctors?



How long did they expect people to buy American while taking the hit for the auto companies incompetence at the same time?

How long until the collapse of the United States?

Not long.

Ah don't thank so.

We've got to switch to Natural Gas and force the big 3 to make cars that can run on it.

We can't continue wasting trillions of dollars trying to take oil from nomads. It's not working.

Well I think not.




That'd be a bad ah-dee-er.


But soon all the evil doers will be recognized and things will begin to change...and for the right reasons.


How long it lasts...I don't know.
