Bailouts will give money to the major companies that fucked up, and we should give them OUR tax money?! If Obama were to give every US citizen bailout money instead of giving it to the big companies, every American over the age of 21, each citizen would get approximately over $7000 to pay off their bills.

you know jack crap about the auto industry. Do you believe everything you hear? You are a disgrace to Americans. Watch the auto industry fail, and everything else will go with it. You don't know what hours everyone puts in to make the American car. It's not the life of luxury. While you are sitting at home with your family many Americans will be at the unemployment line. Thanks for your support. I bet you support the war.

Consumers don't have the money to buy these cars. "The Average Joe" can't afford the luxuries. The Big CEO's of these car makers have all the "lap of luxury". Giving themselves huge raises, "Chrysler", "FORD", and "GENERAL MOTORS" CEO's leave the Bankrupt companies in a "Golden Parachute". They never have the money to hire more people to work. Now so many people are "Out of work". These Car maker "Female Executives" spend the money for manicures, pedicures, and flying in these "Private Jets"

Yes...the same DAVID VITTER (R-LA) whose phone number was found on the call list of the DC prostitute. He still runs his whore-mongering pie-hole to kill the American worker and the US stock market for political gain. I am not in the union, but they deserve the wages they bargained for. Now get ready for what your republican clowns have bargained for you. Take a good look at the stock market today because that is an indicator where your job or business is going- you're done.

No don't give them the money. I will not pay taxes to give money to failed corporations and banks. End the damn fascism assholes.

i couldn't agree with you more. i've been saying this for years now. people will buy domestic if we raise tariffs on imports like they do to our vehicles.

[getwhatyoudeserve33]

Just give them the bail-out and sort the bloody Unions out - it's the tail wagging the dog - why humilitate them any further - give them the money!!!!
