The one thing that seems pretty common here that I think is so funny, is so many people saying "Let GM die! It will only be a short term loss."....Um...Short term loss for WHO? I WORK for GM. Now lets say they go belly up and get sold off. I am out of a job....as well as about a million OTHER people who are employed directly at the factories, or the dealerships like I am.... You think unemployment is bad NOW? Do you REALLY think that we all can just up and go get a job at the local Toyota dealerships? or Mazda? Hell nobody could rehire all the people that would be out of work. There just isn't that much work at the other manufacturers to hire us all. So before you go thinking that the government is throwing good money after bad, remember that PART of the reason for doing the bailout is to keep the millions of GM and Ford employees hopefully OUT of the unemployment line, and not collecting food stamps and welfare....Remember, behind those mega-car corps are regular blue-collar working guys like me trying to make a living.
