Look how much money the tax payers have already dumped into AIG (well over $100 Billion of our tax dollars) -- very few strings attached and very little guarantee that they will be viable for the long run...The automotive industry wants just $25 - $50 Billion as a bridge loan to help save over 3 million jobs...there should be NO blank checks and there should be some strings attached with any new "rescue" or "bailout" plan for the automotive industry. Yet, this Congress and this country continues to spend at least $10 Billion every month in Iraq and we don't think twice about it...when it comes to trying to help our automotive industry in the worst environment in over 50 years some in Congress say no we shouldn't do anything...Hmmm...
