So who is right? Those that say bankruptcy is ok and the market will fix itself, or those that think bailouts are ok?

I don’t guess a “credible path to viability” would include getting rid of the unions?

Obama may or may not be the anit-Christ, but there is no doubt he is the anit-Capitalist.

You cannot be doing what he is doing accidentally. Near tripling the debt, humongous deficits, crashing the dollar with the printing press, attacking producers.

Bankruptcy is the solution but no the bankruptcy that Obama is seeking. Obama goal is to drive the company for bankruptcy so his socialist administration will have a 100% control over them.

So who is right? Those that say bankruptcy is ok and the market will fix itself, or those that think bailouts are ok? Looks like Obama has a unique compromise strategy here: dump as many tax dollars into failed companies as the voters will tolerate, and then let the company finally fail. This combines all the fraud and waste of a bailout with all the disruption of a market failure. The socialist in our White House is as talented with our economy as he is with our military.

Both GM and the UAW are going to be very sorry that GM took even a nickel from the govt. Once the “community organizer” is done with them the UAW will discover that a 25% pay cut is preferable to no paycheck at all.

Where is the Constitutional authority for the Government to funnel billions of our dollars to foreign bankers, seize private firms, fire corporate CEOs, or backup auto warrantees?
This central government is now a domestic enemy of We the People.

Obama's car for the working class. The union boss's ride and his ride will be something - uh, more luxurious as is appropriate to their ruling status.

Replacing GM management has been long overdue. Look at the decay of GM stock market price over the past 5 years, and their telling Las Vegas billionaires “Go Away!”. The message is that the Obama piggy bank is not infinite. Obama may not be a total disaster.
