Is it even worth bailing out the top three?
Maybe the bailout money can be used to bailout the families affected?. If they go out of business people will still buy cars. The workers will just have to move- I am drawn on the issue. It actually is kind of scary really. If - and only if - the Big 3 do collapse - then we can pretty much say good - bye to our country. That would essentially destroy our economy beyond anything we can imagine right now. That is a pretty terrifying thought. Even if they do file Bankruptcy and choose to exist still - that will still have unprecented effects on our country. From the millions who will loose their jobs to the supermarkets and all other businesses that operate in the towns that the Big 3 are strong in will pretty much collapse from everyone loosing work. This can definitely have a domino effect and I ure you. we will see it. On the other hand - had they recieved a portion of the bailout - they would have just misused it and been in the same exact spot in 5 years or something
- Granted they have serious issues, but one of their prime problems is that they are not able to compete with Toyota, etc. because they have HUGE pension and related obligations to retired and soon - to - be - retired employees, which foreign companies are not burdened with. That's one reason Toyota can run plants in the US profitably. If the ONLY way to get out from under those contractual obligations is to go bankrupt, then that is how it will have to be!. It's unfortunate for the retirees, but you have to be realistic; these days, people at those levels do not get pensions. There is no sense pouring money into these companies unless the UAW is willing to renegotiate these contractual obligations. If they are not, and they do not seem to be so far, then they will lose out in the end. On the bright side, this is still a great, flexible, and innovative country, and I feel that NEW startup companies will emerge, NOT hindered by union obligations, which will become new automative leaders
- I have been wondering about that also. Is there a point to pouring money into auto companies that cannot sell enough cars to be profitable? We seem to have an over supply of new cars and trucks, along with an over capacity to produce more. Should we not decrease the supply capacity to be more in line with demand?
- YES. Millions of American Families will be affected. And in more ways then we can think about now. Restructuring Yes, Get rid of bad boys at the top, YES! . I would rather my tax dollars are helping American Workers. Than the big boys and every one else in the world. :
- No! Part of their job was to be aware of the economy and plan accordingly. In business, when you fail you go thru bankruptcy, restructure and recover on your own merits. Why we are considering this is beyond me!
- No. It would just delay the inevitable and leave us in a major catastrophe with a bigger national debt. The bailout will not change anything in the long run
