I really don't mind giving loan guarantees to the auto companies but not an outright payment from the gummit to them. And if we give loan guarantees then the auto companies ought to show a new business plan...and be made to stick with it. Bizness as usual just ain't gonna cut it..and everyone here knows that, I think. The loan guarantees from Freddie and fannie came back to haunt us because it remained bizness as unusual with them. NO oversight means that there will be no changes for the good. We are on the verge of going to a new currency in this country... to the Amero...or some such bull. We should be responsible for our own debt..not the debts of other countries......or businesses. And y'all are right about the steel industry...and now Obama wants to do the same with the coal industry...and the United Mine Workers supported the useless scumbag. Just like our illustrious union leaders supported the NAFTA plan. Did away with more than a million UNION jobs almost immediately...WTH is up with the unions. They always support the democraps that do terrible things to the American(US) worker.

I don't understand that..other than the fact that unions are in some sense socialistic in their policies
