And donâ€™t get me wrong I say let them tank but that is cause I am a capitalist and believe in the will of the people, and the free market and the whole risk / reward system but for you lefties I mean why not let them fail?

Why all this bail out and government control, to keep the rich rich and the rich in business??
so job loss because of the rich right? so then are you for or against the "Trickle down" effect??

It is simple, around 30% of the American economy is tied to the auto industry. If we just let them fail, it is likely that this recession will become a depression.

GM and Chrysler have already failed. It's the Dems who just refuse to acknowledge it.

They SHOULD fail. Let some group buy them for a song and break the behemoth up!
They have not been responsive to consumer demand for many years, the rules of capitialism says they are no longer viable no matter how much money B.O. throws at them.

Actually, if GM fails, it will hurts thousands of little guys, and with them more little guys. It has nothing to do with trickle down, but I can see where, if you know nothing, there'd appear to be an analogy there for you.

Like the lefty you call me, I don't give a frosted cream ratsass about the rich. Throw out the CEOs and let some un-overrated people run GM for a while.

The only thing that trickles down is poverty. Money never makes it past the hands of the greedy few.

I agree that the Big 3 should have gone into bankruptcy.
