GM, Ford, Chrysler should be allowed to fail. I never stopped being amazed by people that think bailouts are free, they aren't. For every bit of help you grant GM you will be causing other business or individuals to be burdened by that help thus making them more likely to fail. It really seems people really believe one can help without hurting in these monetary schemes, it is a complete fallacy, you will be driving someone else out there closer to bankruptcy or another business. And I'm sick of hearing people throw around the solution that the government should buy these companies, the government is not a BUSINESS, it is in charge of handling disputes between business, and individuals. What you are proposing is the common definition of socialism, the state controlling the means of production, which means the state is everything at that point. And how people don't see a conflict of interest when the entity that owns a particular enterprise is also in charge of handling contract disputes(court), is well beyond me. I mean, for crying out loud just look at the banks, they got gobs of money from the government, and they are still clamping down on credit, they are hoarding like it is going out of style. There has been little trickle down. But here we go again, wanting to save GM for GMs benefit. Fuck GM. Fuck the Banks. Let people survive on their own merits, and pursue their own ambitions without the burden of propping up blind car companies, and banks. Seriously, you can not give money without stealing it from another unless it is yours, and in this case it isn't yours to give, we as a nation are much to casual about stealing others money for a few peoples benefit, very morally defunct position if you ask me.
