Do you live in MI? I feel very sorry for the effects of this but at this point, I see that the positive effects of this bailout would probably be short term and then we'd be back to where we are now.

I've been asking the question of exactly what are the auto companies going to do with the money.

I want to know. What good does it do to build one car if no one buys it?

If the goal to build cars or is the goal to pay off debts of the auto makers? I don't know. I want to know.

A bit of encouraging news: I heard on TV today that the Cadillac Escalade is the number one car target of theives. This must mean there's a demand for the cars. At lease someone is willing to steal them.

I'm not trying to be funny. These are legitimate questions that I have not heard anyone ask.

Actually if you read the plan they are radically altering the way they do business. And the unions have made adjustments and are willing to make more. They are cutting lines and have already cut wages.

The Chevy line is an award winner and a good car. I have had 5 Cavaleres and the present one has 177K with only plugs and wires.

We have been in a recession here for 5 years with Jenny. It will be a for sure DEPRESSION if the companies fail. Ford will be OK. They ask for no money. I posted the top 5 cars for theives and 4 were American made. And you ask good guestions.

Some things are worth stealing but not worth buying.

Michigan has been going down the road of socialism so long, they finally got to their destination. It's not the Utopia they expected.

Will the last fool leaving Michigan please turn off the lights?

Treating your employer like the enemy is not a particularly good long-term career enhancer.

Democrats hate big business. Democrats are in control of Michigan. You reap what you sow.

If any of the dyed-in-the-wool Michigan Democrats had done some reading about how socialism ultimately works out, they would have seen a picture of Michigan in late 2008.

It's looking more and more like the East Germany of the Soviet Union era.

If your employer doesn't make a profit and goes out of business, you lose your job. It's funny how that works.

The employer can't guarantee jobs when nobody's buying the products he makes.
