Agreed, it's a tough situation. An important question is this: are the big three on life support anyway and close to death?
If so, giving them bags of cash may only extend their life a few more years before they crash and burn. Then we (the people) are out bailout cash and the people that might have lost jobs have now officially lost them.
- maximilian 18y agoThis is what I worry about. The whole SUV debacle is interesting because it showed the US automakers making a comeback, but then gas prices soared and nobody wanted a big car like that anymore. It shows poor leadership to me that they weren't diversified into cars that would be feasible after a gas hike. Even if those cars weren't best sellers, they would enable a faster retooling into cars like those now. I drive a '96 subaru outback. There is nothing like it from american automakers. I used to live where it snows a lot, and I would only consider buying a subaru.
