to save millions of jobs! |

I believe that their should be a bailout so that so many jobs are not lost. However it should be given on the condition that these factories retool for making more efficient cars, because we have been steadily losing in competition to foreign auto makers, such as toyota and honda. We have a great population and more resources than Japan, so we need to stay innovative, not just do what is profitable for executives in the short term.
Furthermore, all the executives that reap large bonuses in all the rest of the years where business is good should not only lose their bonuses, but also their salary. Executives are supposed to get big paychecks exactly for the reason that they take the risk when business is bad. It doesn't make sense for them to be flush when business is good, and also flush when business is bad. I work for a small business in California, and we have suffered decreased business over the last two years. However, the owners have avoided cutting jobs and reduced benefits because they are making on 5-10% of what they normally make in a good year. I make about $25k a year, and I will make about what they will make this year, as opposed to their normal quarter million. They are able to survive by living within their means even when business is good, not just when they fall on hard times. They are prepared to weather the storm, therefore we will survive.
The problem I do have with bailouts, especially for banks, but also for big companies like auto makers, is that it allows weak companies to stay around, when they should be allowed to fall. Yes, lots of jobs will be lost, but what remains will be stronger, and will absorb a lot of the lost business from failed companies. If that also means that we lose some of the market share to foreign automakers, than we should regain it by offering superior products, not by closing them out of our markets. If we make superior products with our superior workforce and engineer/designers, we will sell more. If changes needed to be made by these auto companies, the management should have adapted before it was too late, and they did not. Do I think that the workers should shoulder the faults of bad management? No. Which is why I support a bailout for these companies. |

I doubt very seriously that there is room any longer for 3. Possibly two, maybe. They would be better off declaring chapter 11. That way they could renegotiate their labor contracts and settle much of their outstanding debt for maybe 30 cents on the dollar. As it is a bail out is lost money. |

No jobs, no economy! I think they need some help to at least stay a float for now. |

A full bailout of the companies? NO! Their problems are caused by nothing more than absolutely crap business ideas/management. Who in their right minds would logically think..."hey we should build gas guzzling vehicles like SUV's and F150s and use those as the focus of our strategy to compete with the Honda's and Toyota's right now! Sure the price of oil is skyrocketing, with an SUV you can drive over things like the side of the Grand Canyon and you can tow a semi with an F150! Let's see one of those cars build for normal people that live normal lives do that!" Terrible idea. Or how about the "Let's not fund our retirement pensions right now to save some money, and then when people retire we'll just hope it works itself out!" then "Oh crap..1/3 of our workforce is retiring in the next 10 years now and we can't follow through on our promises now and it's not working itself out!" or how about the "Yes, we know that our product are more costly and lesser quality than the imports, but we're just going to keep making the same F150's and Mustangs and all other same old, same old, rather they trying to be inovative to increase profits!"
Let them fail. If they fail some other company will have to come in an pick things up. This isn't the financial industry, where it can be completely automated, where their product is nothing more than a digital transaction and a peice of paper in the mail. Automakers have a physical product that requires jobs and people to manufacture and deliver inorder to service the very basic requirements of the industry.
If anything create some kind of package to assist the people losing their jobs becuase of the Big 3 shutting down.
The financial bailout was essential to the stability of the economy and was more to do with the corporate level of how things work. The Big 3 will have little effect on the economy and financial stability of the world/country, it will effect mainstreet with jobloss and such. And if the Big 3 fail, that means there will be more imports getting sold in the USA, which means there will be more demand for the import places to build local warehouses and factories on US soil to cut down on shipping costs...where would be the most logical place? Use the empty space that used to be a auto factory...all those that lost thier jobs, just got them back again. |

They are failing... there are reasons for failure and it is not OUR responsibility to save them from their mistakes. I would let them fail and block them from being acquired from foreign acquisitions. Then, they could restructure, possibly get rid of unions, and make a profit. |

I am sorry that people will have to loose there jobs, but you know what no body bails out when we spend more that what we make or we count our chickens before they hatch. This has been coming for a long time. it time for them to put on the big panties and quit complaining, they need to liquidate there resources, sell there jets and travel like normal people, not take christmas bonus and reduce there pay, you don't here them up at congress saying okay this is what steps we have done and this is what we have cut out in order to save this company but even with us getting and selling the jets, down sizing the corporation and reducing all the other stuff we are still not meeting or barely sqeaking by, they have yet to get rid of anything like we have or sell anything like we have to when we can't pay our bills. |

yes, but so should the home owners who are in trouble. plus the CEO's and executive employees of the big 3 should be fired and never allowed to return. then replaced with a government oversight committee. |
