Is anyone watching this bailout BS?

[The Coach]

It sounds to me the government wants to totally take over with government "oversights" and a "regulatory commitee". Anyone remember what the dems did with Fannie and Freddy that help caused the mess we're i now?

They didn't 'cause' the mess, per se, but their 'solution' certainly won't help us, that's for sure.

tough situation here.  You give them the $34 billion and they'll be back in 6 weeks asking for $60B.

Their success models aren't taking into account the diving consumer purchasing.  They won't even look at the cameras and tell us the $ will fix it - only that it'll fix it for now.

[Emmortal]

Let them fail, the unions need to go.

[The Showstoppa]

Maybe getbig needs a bailout plan ?!?

[Alex23]

I have a regulatory committee in my backyard. They're over sighting gofers bailouts.

No bailout.  Force them to undergo meaningful change.  Thats the purpose of filing chapter 11.
Gov oversight is bad in the long run.

They won't recover. I say finance their changes but force them to make meaningful ones... like mpg targets and alternatives...

 we got our money back from Chrysler in the '80s.

shit the American car companies are a mess, i saw a comparison between GM and Hyundai, base pay for a Hyndai worker is 27.00 an hour with no union involvement and when you add in benefits pay for a GM worker is 70.00 an hour, plus GM is paying out benefits to 360,000 retirees and Hyundai has a big whopping 0, no wonder the Japs wipe their asses with us.

[elite_lifter]

The Big 3 have been reaping benefits for years, now it's payback time!!

Yes. Nature (the free market) has to do her job. No bailouts is the only solution to this snowball.

Some companies will go bankrupt. More efficient companies will grow. Industries will shrink, die, grow, and be created in time. In the process, jobs will shift from one industry to another. Industries will undergo a revolution and efficiency necessities will adopt a new face.

Ultimately, the choice is 1) suffer long-term or 2) suffer short-term.

If you picked 1) suffer long-term, bail companies out.
If you picked 2) suffer short term, let companies go under.

It is natural for industries to evolve in time and that means some people won't like the change. But, it is necessary, good, and ultimately increases the real wealth (purchasing power) of the members of the population. The problem is that people don't have the mental capacity to understand the actual and inevitable nature of an economy from a macro ("big-picture") perspective. Yes, even congress. Yes, even our president. Yes, even us.

Good stuff.

Most of you have horrible ideas and are clueless as to the detriment it would cause to just let these companies fail when a large segment of America is invested and is employed by the big 3.  Telling retirees that they should go screw themselves and die for no fault of their own by stopping their medical coverage when they are in need as well as stopping their pensions is just plain barbarism.  The lot of you have a herdish mentality and are in no way of recognizing the principal, United we Stand, Divided We Fall.


Here is a real solution

Bush has been the biggest socialistic president to date in America...
