No BAILOUT for big 3

[Butch Cassidy]

I'm sorry, but after decades of repeated blowing chances to produce more fuel efficient / hybrid vehicles, I feel very insulted that the big 3 want a 25 billion loan to help them.

I say let them go under!!!

If 25 billion of the taxpayers' money is to go anywhere - let this money go to getting people back on their feet that have been hit in the Gulf coast hurricanes. This money would be well spent on decent everyday hard working folks, not on auto lobbyists and auto execs w/ their heads stuck uo their a**!

Butch, good point. Of course, if they start sinking, we might be driving Chevy F250's, Ford Silverados, or GMC Rams.

More likely it will be Mahindras and nothing will be produced domestically. No, bailouts do not appeal to me one bit, but niether does losing American manufacturers.

Let 'em go under. I just got my '08 financed through Ford.

FREE TRUCK, YAAAAAH!!!!

This will be no different than the government stepping in to bail-out Freddie and Fannie. It would be the less of the 2 evils.

*THIS JUST IN* Merrill Lynch + Lehman Brothers...done. Bear Stearns gone just 6 months ago. One or all of the big 3 going down? Very possible.

the way i see it there is a choice:
-give money to the big 3 so they stay up and running
or:
-give money to the millions of employees that will be unemployed when the big 3 go under.

 

[F350DRW1]

Thats the way it will go, zook. Then maybe the government can see how much fun their own regulations are to follow. I can't wait to see how this whole mess plays out.
