I can’t take it much longer! UGH!!!!!
Handouts for everyone!
Michigan will go DEM, as always; and Detroit will continue to churn out crap cars.
I hope D.C. leaves me enough for ammo for the armed revolution they are inviting.
You can’t really blame the auto industry. It’s hardly a free market any more, what with all the government safety, environmental, labor, and fuel efficiency regulations. The auto industry is pretty much controlled by the federal government already. Sigh!
Alright, this is just blatant graft. There is no argument to be made that not helping Detroit will cause the currency to collapse.
Your point is proven by the fact that autos are selling so well in other countries, especially GM autos. Our regulations, of many industries (except the ones that count-See Fannie and Freddie), will put us in debtors' prison.
Who knows whether these companies could not have obtained funds from the private markets if the f———g Rats and their affirmative action welfare housing bubble had not broken the capital and credit markets.

I wonder how soon the tank and aircraft lines will reopen. We’ll probably need Hummers by the tens of thousands when the next war breaks-out just in time to right the economy. /Sarc
whatta joke!
these 3 companies should have planned fuel-efficient cars beginning in 1974.
meanwhile, we’ve had to pay higher prices for inferior cars,
and support their unions.
i resent unions and their influence into american politics.
no more! yesterday i bought a honda. my last vehicle was a 2003 chevrolet.
they do well where there are weaker unions. pumping money into an industry dominated by the UAW is money that will go down the drain
I’m all in favor of blue collar jobs from companies that don’t screw their consumers. The Japanese-run auto companies operating in America without unions provide those jobs, and turn a profit the old fashioned way - by earning the loyalty of their customers!
I can appreciate that. As you said, at least they actually produce something besides paper.
We are France!
