Bailing out the car manufacturers seems like a good idea, but why stop at them? What about the rest?
I do not agree with giving them my tax dollars so that they can solve a problem created excess and years of overspending and mismanagement.
If a bailout was ever going to happen, the government should give money that is tied to innovation and set very strict rules about its usage.
Those conditions could include reducing pension benefits to retired workers or a demonstrated increase in productivity.
It would be an insult to the people in this country to see anything less.
Certainly, what is happening in the United States with the $700 billion package is not something we want to see in our country.
The rich keep getting richer, while the rest sink deeper.
