3 in 5 Americans Oppose Giving GM/Chrysler Cash

Take the Unions out of the Auto Industry. Let the companies say how much their employees are going to get paid and get rid of all the high dollar benefits. There has to be a way to save money within the company. Obviously they are not spending it on advertisement. I haven't seen the first Camaro commercial.

let them go bankrupt wipe their debt reove the unions from power, i am sure there are thousands of nonunion workers that would want a job making 10-20 anhour + normal benefits to put together cars (a nice salary for a non trained laborer) and then we would have the gm we want....

$10 says obama gives them money since hes in debt to the unions.

Realize this.. auto makers are looking for around 20 billion with GM and Chrysler taking most of that but its a drop in the bucket... Bank of America has already received 1.5x that amount, Citi Group 2x that amount and AIG over 6x that amount, Plus hundreds of smaller banks have received about 250 Billion on top of that! All those billions just gone and since the bailout money was given with no questions asked and no checks on how the money was used... it literally was swallowed up never to be found. At least the Auto makers are forthcoming and have shown where the money has gone and what they will do with future funding and are willing to show the books to federal regulators to prove it.

I will agree that the American automakers had their head up their ass for too long and put themselves into this situation but I say give it to the Auto Makers. I'd rather pay to see them stay afloat rather than these scum banks that caused all the problems say alive with their Execs making millions of dollars a year while the country's economy crashes. I've read reports where banking execs making 1 million dollars a month salary with several million a more in guaranteed bonuses is the common salary. Greed is one hell of a sin.

i think the biggest thing is how do you decide who gets money and who doesn't. Yes gm and chrysler have made some poor calls over the years but look at what AIG, Citigroup and others have done before bailouts and since bail outs. how do you justify bailing out one company and not another. I personally think that the government is trying to fix the ecomony from the top down but that is another discussion.

We need to stop giving money out to everyone and let them fail or rise above. Companies will fall and people will lose their jobs. Then new companies will form and create new jobs.

money will be better cycled into the economy giving it to automakers than the banks

It will be taxpayers' problems when they don't have any money to pay their taxes, much less the necessities of life.
