Who is next for a bail-out? Having screwed up with TARP is NOT a good reason to throw more money at hopeless causes.

Huh? At least 2 trillion for bankers and we are arguing over 14 billion for auto makers. That's less than .75% of the money we gave the bankers. How did they become more important than the auto makers?

BTW, that 14 billion is a DOWN PAYMENT. That only gets them through a couple of months. What is your angle here? Seems like you are just a little too defensive to be merely a bystander.

Good point. And a perfect illustration of why NO ONE should be getting bailed out.

These bail outs run amok could very well cause a depression.
