Let’s cut out the middleman. If we (taxpayers) are to OK the deal, it will inflate the national debt and require T-bonds to be sold bought up by.....the Chinese. Why not sell the “big 3” to China and cut out the middleman?

Really.

Option A: US car makers go broke and the industry is taken over by the Japanese.

Option B: US car makers get bailed out and the US itself is progressively owned by the Chinese.

Given the choice, I'd prefer to be owned by the Japs.

Works for me - just get us out from being the middle-man. The problem is that China is holding a lot of our debt right now. With Hillary as SoS, look for even more cozy relationships with China given the Krinton's previous Chinese connections.
