Uninformed people, and politicians for that matter, think if the "Big 3" go under, we won't have any more cars or auto jobs. Such economic illiteracy is a tribute to the abysmal public education system in this country.

Where there's a demand, there will be producers. Someone more efficient, cost-containing, and union-free will readily fill in the gap, and surprisingly quickly. Perhaps Toyota or Honda will for the time being, but expect another Chrysler or Ford to spring up to meet the demand and provide competition against these foreign companies. Only good can come out if this, even if it's a little painful in the meantime. The jobs will be back, just with different auto manufacturers.

Who knows? Maybe we'll have flying cars when all this is over.

I think back to Lou Dobbs a month ago when he was speaking of Joe the Plumber...his comment about more “Joes” going to Washington made perfect sense. Maybe if common people take over this nonsense will stop. TOO MANY LAWYERS are ruining this country!
