“There are already people rioting because they’re losing their jobs when everybody else is being bailed out.”

I’ve missed the riots. Is that true or hyperbole?

[KellyM37]

Good! Peaceful riots in great numbers may be what it’s going to take. This crazy bailing out private companies and printing money which is going to destroy our economy and make us vulnerable has to STOP NOWWWWWWWWWWW

“GOP Senator Warns of ‘Riots’ if Automakers Are Bailed Out”

If I was one of the yuppies who had a quarter to a third of my life savings wiped out I would be out picketing (to say the least).

Ah well, please pass the latte.

What we are going thru right now is the direct result of borrow borrow borrow to spend spend spend. It is impossible to create long term prosperity by borrowing for consumption.

I have mixed emotions on this. I would like to see the Auto Companies helped. It is vital that we keep our manufacturing base intact. We have lost so much of our manufacturing already. Losing our auto industry might destroy US manufacturing for good.

I'm not impressed with DeMint the way some others are. He's wrong on this issue. The Auto Industry should be top priority for our survival.

I'm against government involvement in the free market in principle but government caused this financial meltdown and hence the problems with GM and the others. Recovery will come one day and people will need to buy cars. Some people on this site are almost orgasmic with delight at the demise of the US Auto Industry. they are very sick people.

Give anybody who buys a new car from the Big Three a 300% tax credit.

move the union under the control of the government with a no strike clause

[Only1choice____Freedom]

If the bailout buyout is complete and the government takes over the companies, does this mean everybody gets the retirement package that the UAW has with the big three?
