I’m not a fan of a bailout but failure will bring disaster to the nations far greater than letting those banks fail. I wish it were simple but unfortunately it isn’t.

There are 3 parties that need to work something out. The UAW needs to work on a cheaper contract, the companies need to learn to run a business and the government needs to stop imposing regulations on them.

I’ve lived here all my life and seen my state go from an industrial powerhouse to a 3rd world basket case. The saddest thing is that all attempts to harm the union only results in more non union jobs being sent across the borders.

Having said all that and given that the Democrats will be leading the charge on this and that the only rational fix to this problem is to adjust union salaries downward to match competitors costs, do you really think this will work?

Do you really think the real problem will be resolved with this process?

No but it’s what I would demand if I were king.

Put aside political double standards; Detroit automakers need bridge loan

No, they need a repeal of the law that allows people selling labor to collude and fix prices.
