throwing good money after bad.
I have a hard time supporting any bailout for the auto industry. It's not just that I feel we, as a country, have been supporting them for a long time. The american auto industry has also seemed to try to actively hurt the country as a whole in order to make a few bucks, particularly the way the industry has suppressed public transportation. Few things have been worse for this country, this environment, and this economy than the notion that every person in this country should drive their own vehicle regardless of their abilities, inclinations, addictions, or skill. It seemed that from the CEO to the line workers all of them supported the car at all costs and not only promoted their own interests, but actively derided every progressive idea that came along. I just have a hard time wanting to bail them out.


As well meaning and thoughtful as your comments are, I don't think this is a time for revenge. We have to pull together and do things we wouldn't do normally to get through this mess.
