If you think the economy is bad now, just let the big3 fail and see what happens. 1 out of 10 americans job is directly related to the auto industry. As for the question about bailouts for the foreign makes, they don't need them because they have and lawyas will be subsidized by their respective governments.
Believe me, I don't want the government in anything more than they need to be. But I put the government to blame for a lot of the problems the Big 3 are in right now. If they had imposed half the standards and regulations on wallstreet and banking as they have on the big3, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in.
added: as far as the cars and truck they built. If it didn't suit your needs fine. But all those suvs and guzzlers everyone bitches about wouldn't have been built if they weren't selling. Sure, when the gas prices finally went through the roof every body wanted out of theirs. Each automaker has cheaper and more effiecent vehicles too. And btw, now that prices have dropped guess what? Trucks and SUVs are selling again.
