Also, when asked by a member of congress if any of the big three executives were willing to give up their fleets of private jets? Not one even flinched as if they thought they might consider raising their hand.

The Lehman Brother/AIG clowns haven't given up their fleet of private jets either. And don't forget the "distinguished" members of Congress who bitched about the private jets, fly regularly on junkets, aboard the Air Force's fleet of Lear/Bombardier/Gulfstream luxury jets, while racking up their eligibility for the nations best retiree health care and pensions. All courtesy of the taxpayers. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

And to make political points, they're willing to risk the futures of the millions of us who depend on the Big Three. Including guys like me.
