I bet the Democrats will ensure the union-heavy American auto manufacturers will get a piece of the bail-out pie, even if, ironically, it’s mainly BECAUSE they’re so heavily unionized that they are not competitive. “Thousands” out of work? Quite an understatement considering how many businesses rely on the auto industry. Mistakes? Like producing the best-selling vehicles in the nation — for decades? What morons, huh?

They did try too hard to squeeze every last penny out of their mainstream cars. Every time I saw an ad claiming how much less their cars sold for than, say, a Japanese brand, I practically screamed, “WHY is your main selling point that your cars are crappier than the competition?” How much de-contenting do you have to do to save $1000? In that respect, they’re idiots.

Just like to point out that beaver skins were not used for hats–the fur was. It was removed, boiled to form felt, and that was used to make the hat.
See: http://www.desertusa.com/mag04/jun/hat.html

The beaver trap was placed in the water, so that when caught, the beaver drowned. I don’t know, but highly doubt the beaver would be able to bend itself around to gnaw off a leg caught in a trap.

If the government and the ‘Big 3′ were honest: they would outlaw imported cars and mandate that we junk the imports we currently and buy American. At least that way we woulg get something for the financial screwing they’re proposing to give the US Automakers via the US taxpayer.

One of the best comments I heard was on a call in radio show where UAW President Ron Gettlfinger was the guest. A caller suggested: “Mr. gettlefinger, why don’t you assemble a coalition of partners, buy the auto companies, maintain the workforce in place at existing wages & benefits, comply diligently with all the madated regulations; local, state and federal, and find out for yourself how easy it is to make a profit”.

Mr. Gettlefinger was…quiet.
