Re: Should the government bail-out include domestic automakers?

This is a simple problem to solve. GM and Ford have terrible management. They build a few good cars. They employ ridiculously high priced laborers that use ridiculous unions. This was bound to happen, there is no excuse. There is no absolutely no reason the U.S. Government should be involved whatsoever. This is a free market and economy. We should not give in and support communistic views on this. I say if they have managed to build junk cars and not expand, let them go under. This process happens everyday, and it is called natural selection. Junk like GM and Ford deserve to go under if they can't manage themselves any better. If they do go under it will also open up more room for my new car company (that I won't start til one of the big three goes under) to thrive. In this world and global economy that we live in today, factory workers will never be able to earn 80,000 , 60,000 , or even 40,000 for a sustainable time. It takes 24 hours to be anywhere in the world and just seconds to buy and pay for anything in the world. Globalization is key. Americans are going to have to learn to deal with it. This is the problem with the bailout proposed for automakers. It will lead nowhere, except into the pockets of American factory workers and then it will turn and lead straight out of this country, either through the gas pump straight to Saudi Arabia or through WalMart and straight to China. It pisses me off that most Americans are blind to this phenomenon. I love my country, I really do, but things are changing drastically and will continue to change for the worse for our country unless we all learn to deal with these issues. I just really feel that the majority of America doesn't care, doesn't understand, or just doesn't want to work to put America back on top. I'm going to build an island somewhere and start my own country.
