As always, Liberalism is at fault.

The United States government is not bailing out General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, also known as the “Big 3″. The United States government is bailing out the United Auto Workers union by way of giving money to the Big 3. By doing this, the Big 3 can meet the payments due to their retired union workers, as well as guarantee future retirement payments, health care payments, and other compensation benefits. President Bush and the Democrats and Liberals in Congress are all in collusion to commit $15,000,000,000.00 billion theft of my money, of your money, and the American taxpayer’s money. (And don’t forget the $700,000,000,000.00 billion grand larceny that was payed to American banks.)
The management in the United Auto Workers union should be changed, and the United Auto Workers union contracts need to be re-written, especially when it comes to health care and other benefits. Democrats, liberals, and the United Auto Workers union treat the Big 3 as health care providers who make cars on the side. It is like mini-Socialism, and that is why the Big 3 are in such debt.
The Big 3 are at fault as well. They should change management at their top ranks and hire Chief Executive Officers that can actually turn a profit. Also, the Big 3 should tell the United Auto Workers union to go to hell, fire all of their union workers, and hire non-union workers. The reason why Wal-Mart is such a success is because they do not allow unions. Unions stifle the growth of businesses and deplete the bottom line, which is to make money.
Also, when it comes to “government manufacturing standards”, the Big 3 should tell the government to go to hell as well. The Big 3 cannot create the cars that they want because they have to meet government quality standards such as miles-per-gallon. More powerful engines are banned by de-facto because cars will not be able to meet miles-per-gallon requirements and other idiotic government standards. The American consumer should have the choice of driving a gas-guzzling Sport Utility Vehicle that gets 5 miles-per-gallon, or a compact car that gets 40 miles-per-gallon.
Liberalism has burrowed its way through Capitalism and that is why we are in a recession. Socialism for the rich is in full effect. Rich banks will keep their bailout money by not lending to the middle class. Car manufacturers will continue to make the same management mistakes and continue to expect, and receive, government bailouts because they are “too big too fail”. Perhaps if the United States government wanted to exercise true Socialism “for the people”, they should give all adult American citizens $3,000,000.00 million dollars. As a consumer nation, the American automotive market and housing market would become profitable almost overnight! But, that will never happen, even when liberal politicians promise that exact same consumer utopia.
As always, Liberalism is at fault. Liberalism, like Socialism, are broken promises.
And unfortunately, true Capitalism is dead. I wonder if it will ever be resurrected.

I’m not going to comment because the fact that I have a couple hundred shares of Ford Motor stock that is basically worthless right now — I guess I have a conflict of interest.

Unions are the root of all the problems we have. What happened when the last unionized industry failed…lets see the AIRLINES!!! We bailed them out and they are still in the red. They can’t be profitable because of unions. IF the government decides to bailout the Big 3, the first clause in the contract should be “Automotive industries do not have to hire union workers or pay into union funds at all, anymore.”
That will free up Billions of dollars, then they can reinvest in their failing companies, hire qualified workers who will work for their wages and not sit on their asses collecting welfare from taxpayers. Period.

I don’t know why Bush is cooperating with this BS. The Democrats benefit the most if Bush instead of Obama (a month from now) bails out these companies. The reason is, it’s a bad decision politically either way.
If they bail out the Auto Companies, they save the union but piss off most of the country. If they don’t bail out the companies, they keep a lot of the country happy but piss off the union which provides a lot of their financial support. It’s better for them to just have Bush make this decision so they can take credit for all the “benefits” and blame all the bad effects on Bush.
