I still feel that the auto makers were getting kick backs from oil companies to keep cars fuel inefficient.
I feel that all imports (food, cars, junk) should be heavily taxed.
That would support US jobs and keep America prosperous.
If we don't have it, you don't need it.
Only US companies, in US, employing US need any tax breaks!
We already bail out auto makers to the tune of 4 billion a year. Enough already!
We need to close our doors and get it together.
America for Americans.
Nobody would bail me out if I ran a business into the ground.
Maybe only the strong should survive.
Look at the little banks and credit unions who never got greedy and never got in trouble.
Instead we subsidize to keep the big dumb pigs alive.
Not good sense.
If we never bailed out the big failures, the incompetents would have been unemployed instead of paying themselves multimillions in bonuses, their reward for incompetence.
The empty houses would have been for sale cheap enough for people to buy them.
We were suckered into that one, we do not need to be suckered into any more bail outs.

Hmmm.. so let me get this straight:

An industry that is strictly a Union Labor Force was already going under... bailed out once already. Matter of fact ALL the "big business" guys are union based, and while he beat down the profits made, at the same time the Democrats are wanting to strip away private voting rights?

Other than WalMart that has proven what capitalism can do WITHOUT unions, the liberals STILL can't get it.

Overseas employment and production is because of the second higherst tax rate in the world!! Japan who's economy is worse is actually the highest! But liberals REFUSE to be honest about it. Just as they were with Fannie/Freddie!

What I would like to know is with all this money of ours that is going to all these bailouts to the bigger companies...what about the smaller businesses??? WHERE'S MY BAILOUT FUNDING!!! I'm a Small American Business Owner and I'm sure not the only one!!!

All these bigger businesses got greedy and expanded with over stock products...and I guess that's our fault!

All these banks expanded with loans they couldn't control or afford...and I guess that's our fault!

The government keeps borrowing money and freely spending ours as our country gets further and further into debt...I guess that's our fault!

If it’s our money then why is it that we don't get a say so with the way it is spent??? But let us NOT pay our taxes...so who has all the real control??? Our rights and constitution has been jeopardized and breeched...I guess that's our fault!

Chrysler was the only automaker to ever be bailed out with loans of 4 billion dollars in the early 1980's. They paid back those loans in record time under the leadership of Lee Iacocca.

My answer is yes. We should offer loans, not bailouts to the 3 major US Automakers. If we can offer loans to companies like AIG, which is not an American company, then all the more reason to help large employers like GM, Ford and Chrysler. It would be a double standard not to. But these are loans I am talking about, not FREE money, like some of the the Banks are getting.

Abunai, Walmart is not a good example of how things WORK without Unions. Walmart is an example of cut-throat business and employment practices that are both immoral and unethical. BAD EXAMPLE. I usually agree with you, but on that point I do not, at all.

Heck, just give me a $5,000 credit toward a vehicle and a 0% interest loan and I like millions of others will start buying cars again. As it stands right now the cars are over priced, and nobody wants to give out a loan.

they should save up there money and quit bailing out companies and send us checks, then we could all spend money

Any companies sending jobs to other countries should be bailed out by those countries, Not by the American tax Payer.

When it is stated> bailed out by the "US Government" it means middle and lower class American tax Payers.

No.......

Should Mexico help out? Absolutely. Will they? Probably not.

I was against the whole bailout plan and still am.

Business that make bad decision, for the most part should go out of business.

I reject your idea that the Japanese automakers make a better product. All automakers have made bad products at one time or another.

I will also ad this, whenever a US automaker finds a problem, they follow through with the directive to have a recall. Toyota, Nissan, and especially Honda are KNOWN for hiding their defects and fighting any recall attempts.

Now most automobiles around the world are made with parts from all over the world.

Obama is a bastard. Did I just say that?
