I contacted my congress critter:

NO MORE BAILOUTS

I will cease buying cars/truckes from any automaker that receives publicly financed bailouts or loans. Let the free market work.
Each one of these companies seeking bailouts needs to cut costs and/or sell assets.

NO MORE REWARDING FAILURE.

Amen to that. This country has lost its way when it becomes the standard to bail out companies that are poorly managed. It happened with the airlines back in 2001/2002 (several were having problems prior to 9/11, but 9/11 was used as an excuse to prop them up). Bailouts don’t force companies to change bad habits and bad management, it just enables them to keep on doing the same.
