The auto industry is essential to this country both in the short term and in the long term. We need to revive manufacturing. This economic catastrophe clearly demonstrates the weakness of a service economy or as some call it a consumer driven economy.
“We need to revive manufacturing”
Manufacturing does quite well when Big Brother manipulators get out of the way.
“The auto industry is essential to this country”
The Auto industry is NOT sacrosanct...it survives Only if the consumers freely support THE PRODUCT IT MAKES..and for a while now the consumer does not! Manufacturers need to throw off the burdens of unionized parasites AND RIDICULOUS GOVERNMENT REGS so they can have a chance to revive themselves.

Maybe so, but, the airlines and other industries have had to go bankrupt and reorganize. Why should the auto industry be any different? It’s not like they will vanish. The will vanish in their current form, which is not a bad thing, IMHO.
