Why would you keep a company around that produces products that no one wants to buy? Jobs? Well...the employees of GM,Ford and others will just have to find another...just like me when my company scaled back.

The problem being....of course....they sell enough of their crap each year to crawl into the next.

If the American taxpayer were indeed upset about his tax money being used in this disgraceful manner....and wanted to eliminate these union infected dinosaurs once and for all.... they would buy Toyota, Honda, B.M.W. and other quality vehicles and implode this relic. Maybe what would come out of the ashes would be leaner and meaner.

It's simple folks....don't buy G.M., Ford or Chrysler.

Why would you want to keep companies around that are unable to produce products PROFITABLY? Clearly, a lot of people do want to buy GM, Ford and Chrysler products. They all sell hundreds of thousand of vehicles (if not millions, in the case of GM) every year. The problem is the UAW. The union badly diminishes the competitiveness of American automakers in terms of labor costs and also innovation (e.g., certain plants have to be kept open just to placate the union). Let 'em go bankrupt, I say. If the American automakers get the union contracts off their backs, they'll do fine.
