Z, > I was arguing against the point that declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy would help the car companies. No, all you did was build off the assumption that Chapter 11 could never work. Why do you and RW think that preserving the status quo is going to work? Or having Washington dictate to Detroit how to design their own cars? Tenchusatsu

You asked who would buy a car from an American automobile company in bankruptcy. Ted's argument, and maybe yours is that they are currently not building anything Americans will buy, so what's the difference between not buying American cars now and not buying American cars during a bankruptcy? I believe you, ted, and others would never buy another American made automobile, irregardless of the circumstances, other than govt mandates requiring you to buy one. I can see where govt intervention could lead us to that point. On another note, the govt has let many other industries fail, why is the line being drawn at cars and the failed national education system? "union contributions to politicians"
