Hey, the government is the answer for every problem you have. Didn't you know that? Well, time to get with it friend, cause we're all going socialist just as soon as possible. See, it takes something called personal responsiblity, and the belief that we're a great nation because of the people not the government and those are two things not even considered these days. Read a little history, did the feds bail out San Francisco after the earthquake that leveled the place back 100 years ago? Hell no, or Chicago after the fire - nope. See back then, we weren't a nation in want of assisted living. Ya'll may think ol JB is going to get political - but I'm not, we're in the mess we're in because of too much government - from both parties. Don't ya'll get it? Just like the labor unions got those great pension plans and perks - worked good till the cash cow starved didn't it - so too will Social Security end up sucking wind if something isn't done. When you have a government that stays in power by buying the votes of the dumb masses at the expense of business and free enterprise - you're doomed to end up like other socialist countries that consider our poverty level as their middle class.

Len - I feel for you, if I lost my job, I'd be pretty pissed off, but I would go out and get something even if it was at Wal Mart or changing oil at the Jiffy Lube. But that's just me, I got it from my Dad, he retired from the Traveler's, then worked 6 days a week at a local hardware store for a few years then worked 4-5 days a week at a liquor store before finally calling it quits at the tender age of 75.

The automakers don't need a bail-out or a loan, they and other corporations need to have government off their backs and out of their business. I wish somebody could show me just where in the US Constitution - the government has the right to tell you how to run your business. Ya'll we need to realize this even though we're heading up sh!t creek with no paddles.
