I wonder if Sen. Levin is in favor of disbanding the labor unions that have placed Detroit in such trouble.

I’m against bailing out the auto companies. However, if we do bail out the auto companies then fire the top management, who is going to lead them? I just don’t think there’s a lot of people with extensive experience that could be hired. And if there were, they’d have to be convinced to work under strict government oversight. And in Detroit. Good luck with that.

"I wonder if Sen. Levin is in favor of disbanding the labor unions that have placed Detroit in such trouble."Right. The union bosses should go out the door along with the executives.

He obviously thinks that all executives are Republicans. I'd love to see the Unions slammed but no Dem is going to do that. The Unions, along with George Soros, own the Dems.

I doubt it.
the Unions are the GOOSE the lays the GOLDEN EGGS for politician!

You would think that the union would be able to scrape up the $7 billion to buy the companies.

Perhaps members of Congress should resign if they vote to raise taxes. Isn’t the concept of a tax increase similar to a bailout? Congress can’t meet their obligations and wants to have taxpayers bail them out.

I wish the car company execs would tell them....
"You first! When Barney Frank, Meeks, Dodd, Waters, et al...resign for being the root cause of this melt-down...we will resign"
I can dream.........

No the entire Congress should resign. The last good thing they did was declaring war on the Axis powers.

Getting rid of the auto execs will not solve this problem. There is only one way: get rid of the unions and the bad legacy contract costs.

The worthless governor of Michigan is probably picking out a house in DC right now. She has her eyes set for Washington.

I wonder if U.S. Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan would consider issuing “Levin Stocks” to each and every of his constituents?
Come his next election, they might have a better idea of well he has run their ‘company’.

I don’t recall Carl Levin ever saying anything intelligent, so this is a first.

Well, I'm opposed to any bailout, but if it does eventually happen, Wagoner et al. should be sacked, and making it a condition of the bailout is a pretty smart term for an otherwise bad plan.

I just don't have much confidence in the Feds picking CEO's of GIANT companies....
I could just see them pick Franklin Raines, Jon Corzine, or Al Franken...for crying out loud.
