He probably thinks they will die because the companies will not restructure themselves.
Also, even though foreign autos have received bailouts how long ago was that?
Did the companies adjust accordingly so it wouldn't happen again?
Were the loans paid back in full?
So should the government very possibly just delay the inevitable with these two companies or let them go?
This is a very sticky situation. I honestly don't think that GM or Chrysler will survive in the long term regardless what we do. I'm also very concerned about the workers, middle class, etc. This will truly have a trickle down effect if they go under. My thing is I don't want the Unions busted up, degraded, or done away with; I do think that EVERYBODY will have to sacrifice something to keep their jobs. If not, union worker or not, people will not have a job to go to period. That has been my point all along. It's sad to see that the workers are caught up in the middle of shitty managers and yes, Decker believe it or not, a corrupt Union.
