This sounds a lot like what I observed in France.

But in defense of the auto bailout, I would have to say that the issue is not the cause of the predictament and whether the companies or union deserve a bailout. They certainly don't deserve one. Instead one could argue that the bailout is necessary because the issue is the macroeconomic impact of bankruptcy of the auto companies especially during these hard times. Our economy probably can't take the hit right now of the likely effect on employment,suppliers , other businesses and the costs to our economy and Government from the unemployment, Pension Guarantees, welfare, health etc would still be a taxpayer cost. All this can have differences of opinion as we have read and seen on this board. But if the issue if our economy and not the cause of the problem both management and labor and Mich taxes , then their is justification for giving them the money. An we might not only allow the auto companies to survive but also hopefully reform their ways and the union reform its ways.
