Reagan was fond of saying, “Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
I guess we are into the “subsidize it” phase!
The financial bailout is supposed to be justified because the credit crisis could take down the entire economy. But what the hell justification is there for government giving cheap loans to save incompetent auto companies and their greedy unions?

This is the frustrating thing- these comapnies are in trouble because of over-regulation and unsustainable labor obligations. Now the same government who put them in this spot is going to throw our money at the problem instead of fixing it? great.

It appears government will never learn to stay out of it. The automakers need to produce cars people want at a price they can afford. Period. Works for Honda and Toyota just fine.

Printing money can be fun. Yes you too can be a Congress money printer. Out of nothing you can create cash. Call 1-800- IAMATHEIF.

Yeay, I dont think they need a bailout and their labor unions are killing them. But to say they are making cars no one wants is bs. I just ordered an 09 Jeep Patriot but I really would’ve liked a Ford Flexx,Dodge Challenger, Chevy Camaro.

"It seemed like a lot when we first started pushing this," says Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, one of the bill's sponsors. "Suddenly, it seems so small."Right. Pocket change. A payday loan without all the bothersome compounding. Drop in the bucket. Such a miniscule percentage of GDP.
There's no stopping this train now.

Get rid of the CAFE standards and allow drilling to start immediately.
These car companies will then turn around and hum like fine violins.
