Bailing out the auto makers was not one of my favorite things done by our Gov, but it kept thousands of Americans from being out of work over the last two years, so maybe it was not such a bad thing afterall.

I totally agree with you Jerry in keeping thousands of people employed. I really hate to see people lose their jobs in any industry. However, I do agree w/linc in the fact that if the gov't did not bail these companies out maybe it would send a message to the companies as well as the rest of the nation to control spending and be a little bit more fiscally responsible... just my 2 cents worth
