or we could continue paying them billions and billions of dollars to subsidize their losses. Perhaps we should just put huge tariffs on foreign auto imports so that we dont have to change a thing and pass the cost on to american people while we're at it.


This isnt a short term gig - the Big 3 have been pretty good at losing money well before the credit crunch and house bubble.


BTW: Im not alone in my belief that people dont support a bailout of the auto industry. Heck, > 1/2 of our reps voted against the bailout plan for them - and that plan was only to hold them over til Q1.
