Do you expect the US govt. to bailout the automakers who continue to make the same vehicles that no one is buying. Someone has to buy what they're making.

Then my solution of giving cars to people would be a better solution as it's not just pouring money down a rat hole.

I do not believe government is smart enough to decide who should get bailouts and who should not.

In our state government thinks they can decide what businesses should get state subsidies.

Consider that GM is number one in terms of market share, I guess some are buying American cars-patriots if you ask me. People who believe in their country’s future and are not willing to sacrifice long term economic stability for cheap foreign toys. As for the government not being smart enough0it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that millions of jobs lost in this economy is a very, very bad indeed.

So GG,

Which one of these Euro-Transplants don't you want that a ton of Ford Engr's here are working their @$$es off to bring over here?

The Ford C-MAX, I am an average sized, and I fit great in the middle seat in the back, (yes it is a 5 seater, almost like a small mini van it is so roomy)

The Ford Fiesta

The Ford Mondeo....

The Ford Transit Connect, great vehicle for a small business like wedding cake bakery IMHO...

The Ford Kuga, Car and Driver liked this one a lot in their last issue of cars they feel we need now....

SO DO YOU STILL THINK IT IS A BAD IDEA TO GIVE THEM A BRIDGE LOAN SO THEY CAN BRING THESE HERE SINCE AT THE CURRENT BURN RATES THEY MIGHT RUN OUT OF CASH? OR DO YOU GIVE THEM A BRIDGE LOAN?
