That's it buddy.... Now you're catching on...!!!!

Matter of fact on the show (Lost) don't you drive a classic Camaro? But I do hope you get the help you require since Sayid and Jack broke you out of the nuthouse....

Loose some weight and maybe you'll be bedding Kate... !!!!

No more bail-out money. Let the market decide what is financially viable and what is not. If GM and Chrysler fail, so be it. People will always need vehicles and another more financially accountable company will come forward to produce them. Neither of these companies have demonstrated that they deserve more money thrown at them.

Why would we bother to keep funnelling billions of dollars into a dead industry only to have more job CUTS? I mean honestly. If you were buying a new car today, would you even consider Chrysler or GM?

It's not a bail out... It's a loan!!!!

I would say allow the free market to decide if this a free for all among North American companies like it was in the 1950's & '60's when we had Packard, Hudson, Crosley, Studebaker, Nash, Kaiser, Willys, etc...

BUT if we allow the Big Three to fail then we are giving up our industries to foreign companies...

Toyota, Nissan, BMW, etc will be faced with this same situation when China starts cranking out cars...

Do we really want to continue down the path of loosing jobs to nations who pay less and have a lower standard of living? Would you be willing to lower your salary or standard of living to keep jobs in NA? Or do we ask the government to intervene?

Or are you pleased with EDS, Microsoft and other companies outsourcing to India, China, etc...???

It's a loan that will be used to prop up it's offshore manufacturing plants.

Toyota Nissan..etc are better equipped to handle competition from China, GM has proven they are incapable even though they already manufacture around the world including China.

You better buy two, the first one will probably break down before you even get home...
