The government has not handled the $700 billion dollar bailout correctly, why should the next bailout be done, it is costing all of us.

The effects of the big three going under would be a catastrophic hit to our country. It effects everything from car makers to the guys at the local car wash, with parts supplies, repair shops, gas stations, tire manufactures and so on down the line. If GM went under under it would be 2.5 million, that is almost 10% of the population. That added to the current unemployment rate of 6.4% and you come up with a scary numbers.

If you are a democrat how can you vote for McCain?

My suggestion: let UAW, employees, suppliers, dealers, etc pool their money buy the companies. They can get rid of the management they don't want, and when its their own money at risk, maybe everyone in the chain will cut their wages/profit to keep the companies alive.

What does P.U.M.A stand for?

Two things...Why would we not attempt to save 15 million jobs, crucial to the US economy, but we would continue to subsidize the financial industry that imploded on itself creating this chaotic mess in the first place? If the banks hadn't stopped lending, nobody would be asking for help.
Lastly, if you have or have had clients, patients, customers, relatives, and friends that work for the big three, you need to be driving a Big 3 vehicle. For instance, a 25+ year medical professional, who has auto workers as clients and accepts their nice insurance and hopefully will continue to have these clients and make money from their insurance, who just bought a foreign car. Aren't you biting the hand that has fed you for 25 years?

Who cares who you all are? Just keep fighting for the little people.

When was the last quarter GM actually turned a profit or even broke even?
------
General Motors "as is" - a limp horse that should have been put down many years ago.
------
I have had five GM cars, I love my Chevy Suburban we should help the Big 3.
------
If they sold their corporate jets, they could bail themselves out.
------
We bailed out Chrysler once before. How many do over's do they get? I am a small business owner and we are suppose to be the heart and soul of America and I don't see the government willing to bail me out, as a matter of fact, it's going to get worse for all small businesses over the next few years.
------
Can you loan us some money Erik? Times are hard you know. Happy holidays anyway.
------
We bailed out the banks and they have done nothing. AIG came back for more after spending thousands on trips. The banks are tight and not lending still, at least the Big 3 will keep people working.

I heard Coyle Chevrolet on Spring Street is going out of business.

Who ever voted for England is an idiot! Yes I said IDIOT. Didn't those voters learn from the last time he was in office?
------
Surely Messer will not be dumb enough to run for mayor?
------
Can you research a way to throw England out of office?
------
You know why England has a bad back don't you? All that taxpayers money he has in his pockets... (heavy pockets -- bad back...get it?:)))).
------
Who is Dan Coffey trying to fool? Everyone knows he's in the mayor's pocket right along with Gahan, Messer, Gonder, Ceasar, and that women on the council. That's cut-a-deal-Dan for you.
------
Give'm hell Erik!!!!
------
Why doesn't the County Council go after Floyd Memorial Hospital if they are as broke as they say, I would, wouldn't you? Who can I contact beside my councilman?
------
"Freedom Of Speech Rocks"
------
Have you checked out John Gonder's voting record on line? He has voted "yes" on everything England has wanted. Doesn't that make him a "yes" man?
------
I miss the Gang of Four, how about you Erik?
------
See, we do read our emails.
