Remove the word bailout
They need a bank, same as ANY other company, not another contribution from taxpayers.
Wasn't this the whole purpose of the bank bailout, to make money available???

re: >> "if you are for the bailout, what conditions and covenants would apply?"<<

Mine would be it would come from the banks that ALREADY got 350 bil. It was for LOANING as I understand it and this would amount to 10% or less of it... If there ever was a troubled asset, it seems like the Detroit 3 sure is..

And they(the D3) are calling it a "LOAN"..
