there was no indicators 'private' investors were running to their aid either,,,,


sometimes the bottom line isnt as important as americans livelihoods,,





If private investors won't touch it......seems to me that would be a sign it needs to fail.... just as banks who can't handle their own money, much less their investors, properly!


well, I guess thats just a difference in priorities and perceptions

I dont think letting peoples livelihoods disappear should ever be taken so lightly,,,,,but thats just me,,,

Just more redistribution ideology!

Let everyone fail by bailing out a few who will fail in the end anyway, and wrecking the whole economy!

That makes perfect sense! slaphead

the auto industry employes hundreds of thousands of people, in an already struggling economy, letting ALL those 'few' fail would have been even more catastrophic,,,

What you don't seem to realize is the people lost their jobs anyway, the CEO and management got raises and bonuses, plants closed everywhere, and they still need more money!

Not just plants, SS. A lot of dealerships got closed down.

Now, a dealership isn't just where they sell new cars. They did repairs and sold parts.

How did that cash for Clunkers work out?
Japan made the bucks off that one and good parts got wasted.
BTW, who did Barry sell all that metal to?

I would hate to see all those unionized Auto Workers and CEO's lose their plump income dollars, insurance and retirement benefits. Where would the Dimocrats get their money then?sad

yes, I would also hate to see all those auto workers families being without their wage earner/financial support



if we want to bring down auto prices so that we an decrease the amount automakers earn, Id be for that too


better than just putting more people on the unemployment line any day
