That’s right, the Unions are now not only bleeding the Auto industry but now they are bleeding the American tax payer. Why does anyone vote for a Democrat?

Do you have a link to this?

I've heard rumblings of this in regards to congressional discussions on the bailout and that it will include $25B for car loans and auto finance companies. Sounds like bs to me, I see no reason for them to get a feed at the trough if true.

Maybe if I petition Congress I can get a bailout.

I am going to offer a different theory.

Perhaps American auto makers are struggling because they make a garbage product that breaks down too much, doesn't last long, looks cheap, and gets terrible mileage.

Just a theory.

It would be an incorrect theory. American auto makers have greatly improved and depending on the class can offer vehicles that get great mileage and have very high reliability. The Chevy Malibu is a case in point.

Yes, it's offerec in a hybrid that get's an astonishing 32 miles to the gallon on the highway, a mere 16 miles to the gallon less than a 1978 Volkswagon diesel. That is innovation like I have never seen.

Yeah, I'm not bailing out carmakers unless they refit every factory to make hybrid or electrics or at least 50 mpg or better cars on EVERY model. I don't understand why car companies think its good business to make 10% of their cars hybrids that are on back order and 90% of their cars gas guzzlers that they can't give away. I'm not giving them a cent unless they wise up. If Congress does bail them out, they better pass a law stating that every car company that accepts a penny of this plan had better be 100% hybrid in 5 years or less.
