It's amazing to me that everyone is willing to point the finger at anyone but themselves. What roll did the consumer play in our economic woes? Hmm?
Oh, and the big 3 are failing because they make a crappy product, and foreign manufacturers make a superior product for less. I agree with someone above who said that the government should have no decisions in who fails and who succeeds. In this country, the right to succeed comes packaged with the right to fail, and if you want to run a business as blindly, and as follishly as the big 3 have, then you get what you have coming.
I am out of work, due to the economy. I drive a toyota, because it is better than a ford or chevy, and it cost less. Now my government has decided that not only has the economy cost me my job and possibly my general well being, but I will also have to pay to fix it. Oh, and since I never buy an American truck because its an inferior prduct, and since thos companies are run so poorly by foolish, arrogant people, I will now have to pay for that too. I hate this bailout. LET THEM FAIL, as failures do.
