That's right here they come again.  Barely 2 months after they came begging for a $25 Billion bailout, now they say they need more.  Don't say I didn't tell you so.  In December, I thought it was a good idea to just let them file Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Well GM and Chrysler are begging for yet another bailout.  Here is a Detroit Free Press article (their hometown newspaper), and even they didn't have much good to say about the auto industry.

  

It really is sad to see these once great companies floundering.  The United Auto Workers Union needs to dissolve and head off into the sunset, because it has basically killed GM and Chrysler. 

I don't know what the answer is for these companies, but throwing good money into these two bottomless pits is a giant waste on the back of the American taxpayers.  Congress and the White House need to stand up to Detroit once and for all and say enough is enough.  If GM and Chrysler can't fix themselves either by re-organizing in bankruptcy court, merging into other car makers, or some other drastic changes, then the only solution is to close up shop and go out of business.  It will devastate the economy when this happens, but spending more money on these 2 dying giants simply does not make economic sense anymore.

Contact your Congressman today and tell them to just say NO to giving Detroit another handout.

Unlike the bank bailouts, these are loans that the automakers are asking for. 

Also unlike the bank bailouts, they will be repaid to the government and the taxpayers with interest.

Unfortunately, the automakers are already saying that they may not be able to repay them. Bring back Lee Iacocca! When Chrysler went belly up in the late seventies, everyone was saying the same: "don't lend them the money; they will just go belly up anyway". Well, Chrysler repaid ahead of schedule. But, then again, look who was at the helm then..............someone with his company & this country at heart, and not just another greedy CEO that got their companies into the mess in the first place. I think that the overall economic circumstances are also different from the $8 billion bailout in the 70's.

GIVE IT TO THEM.  Give them $25,000,000,000 on the condition that they will receive the money as a reorganization investment the week after filing a chapter 11, killing off the unions and filing a PLAN. 

Give them $50,000,000,000 on the contingency that they will file a secret plan with the Pentagon to convert to war footing if we ever need them.
