Losing our last large manufacturing sector puts us at risk economically and in terms of national security. It is a grave loss and only people suffering from Union Derangement Syndrome would want this to happen...it’s always the unions blah blah. Try to remember when the words ‘country first’ meant more than a campaign slogan at a McCain rally. As for it being a good thing for conservatives, this is absolutely not true. It would mean the election of Democratic presidents for years and lead to socialism...if you stop with the union hatred and look at the electoral map, you would notice that we can not win without the Mid West. You are free to buy any car you want...If the big three went away, I doubt you or anyone else could afford a car. Of course you don’t need a car to stand in bread lines or eat in makeshift soup kitchens.

Sorry, but I see your argument as pretty silly. Also, you are missing the point and keep bringing it back to losing manufacturing. I'm not the least bit interested in seeing the big three go out of business. I just don't want to be a part of keeping a bad situation going, with the use of my tax dollars. In fact, I don't even want to pay attention to their problems. Here's the way out: Go bankrupt, then cut wages and benefits 50%. Then you're back in business, and off MY back.

If you don't like that idea, then disappear.

But you see, without a bridge loan, the big three will go out of business. They can not survive a bankruptcy. So if you truly want to retain this industry, you got to have the loan.
