I don't *want* to see them bailed out either, but I don't think
there's really any choice. Now is not the time to lose one out
of every ten jobs in the country. It's a damn shame and a bitter
pill to swallow but we can't let the Big 3 go belly up no matter
how much they richly deserve it.

However, the moment the government puts one penny of my tax dollar
into that mess I want a clean sweep. That means fire every damn
executive in the company, tear up the union contracts, void all
deals with suppliers, tell the shareholders "tough ****, you got
nothin'", and turn the whole thing over to government receivership
with the intention of making the company viable and once again
publicly owned ASAP.

My two centavos.


Damn you are making a ton of sense. Usually you are just a asshole to
people.
