I'm not down with the American auto companies bailout. If the govt. didn't understand this the first time they gave a huge bailout to undeserving recipients, then hear my roar now: Don't bailout the American Auto Industry!
I know that many jobs are at stake and the American Dream has been in part based on the Auto industry, however, the US Automakers (Ford, GM and Chrysler) have been making unattractive and inefficient cars for way too long and guess what?! No one wants them!!!!!!
Why?
1) U.S. Auto makers loved making big, gas guzzling cars and refused for many years to even consider making a hybrid.
So when they finally did come out with a hybrid (5 years too late), gas had already gone above $130 a barrel and drivers already bought fuel efficient Honda's and Toyota's.
2) U.S. Auto makers have already ruined American lives long ago by relocating several auto plants to developing countries so they could cut costs. So, even though I am totally rooting for the "worker," GM, Ford, and Chrysler already screwed many of them out of jobs long ago. Case in point: Look at Detroit and Flint Michigan. They used to be industrial giants but once the auto makers left, so did the economy as a whole. Watch Roger & Me if you disagree.
Plus, these plants do not give a hoot about the "worker" they just want to save their own comfy jobs. I say no to the bailout, let them go bankrupt, this is a capitalist society anyway, so they shouldn't be expecting handouts in the first place. In a free market society if you fail it's all your fault because no one wants your products, and the consumer has the power to pick what they want and they don't want your stupid product so get a clue and shut up!
