What's the statement? "If you learn how to run your industry, you don't need a bailout"?
I could see that.
I work in a tough industry myself (book publishing in Ontario). We've had much to figure out with changing technologies and market trends, all the while watching the government give disproportionate funding and tax breaks to the film industry (despite much lower returns on that investment).
The auto industry needs to change. If they get a bailout only to return to business as usual, they'll only need another bailout down the road.
