I for one am sick and tired of this 'auto bailout' BS.

 

First off, why doesn't the banks that recieved THEIR bailout and the UAW get together and work out a viable solution between  themselves and help the industry? 

 

Why burden the taxpayer any more than they already have been burdened? 

 

Does the banks see a BAD RISK involving re-payment and therefore, not interested in saving this industry? 

 

Why does the federal government think that they can operate and/or control the industry when their own Senate cafeteria is bankrupt?

 

Who, in heavens name, can give benefits such as these to 700,000 RETIRED workers who contribute nothing to the profitability of the company - as GM is saddled with now?

 

What guarentee can the industry AND the UAW can give us that they will be viable next year, or the following year or even ten years from now?

 

Why not give every family say $30,000 with the express intention of buying an American made auto?   What the hell is the difference?

 

How can Toyota and GM each sell over 9 million vehicles each in the same year world-wide, yet Toyota made a $14 billion profit and GM show a $26 billion loss?  Something doesn't jive here.

 

Why does the government try to force these companies to produce these hybrid cars when the general public wants a comfortable, reliable pick-up, or a sedan or a SUV?

 

Why are federal restrictions, such as CAFE, forced down these companies throat when the general public gives a rats ass about the phony 'global warming' scare?

 

Why has nothing being done about producing more fuel for the internal combustion engines that has been proven a reliable and efficient method of fueling our vehicles?

 

Why cater to the whims of a few who have NO absolute proof that the carbon emissions are causing this ?global warming? panick?  As it stands today, they aren't any closer to the truth than I am in my belief in denial.

 

This 'NANNY' state situation does not sit well in my belly.  The 'Big 3' need to file Chapter 11 and get their own companies in line with comparable competition.  It is called the 'free market system' and has always worked.  I care less about anybodys legacy be it a Dem or a Rep or Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer.  I want this nation to stand up a be a nation again.
