If the (formerly) Big 3 go Chapter 11, the gummint will probably assume these pension obligations (so we’re getting stuck one way or the other). The only difference is where the checks come from: DC or Detroit.

Devils advocate: If you worked in an industry until retirement under agreements that your company signed and you planned your retirement around same – what would you do?

Like much of the rest of this debacle, the libs own far more of the blame than most people realize… after all, who made it so easy for the UAW and the Big 3 to enter agreements that anyone with a modicum of common sense knew would eventually go off the cliff?

I guess it was the same people who signed up California taxpayers to pay the state employee pensions that have brought us to the brink of insolvency.

Exactly. You’d think that at least one of the banks we bailed out could spare a loan of $25 billion or so.

Our next car, whenever the heck we can afford one, will not be GM, Chrysler or Ford. We will find a USA-built Japanese car.

We’ve been shopping for a new car for about a month. We switched to the same strategy after discussing it at length over the weekend.

We live in MI, and I will tell you that it is not just the bailout, but the attitude of the workers. They are absolutely convinced that they should not be made to give up a dime while the rest of us should pitch in and help them out.

If we all have to suffer together, then let’s just do it. But I won’t carry my share and theirs too.

Bush/Republicans/Democrats are just trying to look tough after they put us in debt 750 b’s…They are such a joke

You have nailed it, my friend.

That $25 billion of freshly printed toilet paper is burning a hole in their pockets and they can’t wait to give it away, if not to the Pig 3 (not a typo), than to some other mental midget reprobate with a crappy business model.

To hell with the lot of them.

This is nothing more than a ritual dance. Meaningless.

flyover, my thoughts exactly…I thought it was funny, too, that Wagoner came in a car instead of flying commercial…just can’t quite bring himself to fly with the peasants, can he? (those same peasants from which he’d like to fleece his portion of $25B)

This is stupid, they throw arround 1.5 TRILLION Aand all of a sudden 25 billion is a big deal? Please.

That is Congress trying to prove its viability!

Mulally says Ford has said it has enough cash to make it through 2009 and may not need government help.

cry me a river!
