My hope is that the GM/Ford/Chrysler problems are resolved (if
resolvable) in bankruptcy, not throwing more tax payer dollars at
them.

Duck, I couldn't agree with you more. Chapter 11 isn't
permanent. It
allows for "reorganization" which is exactly what the auto
industry
needs to do right now. Revise business plans, products and
re-negotiate the union contracts under the watchful eye of a
bankruptcy
judge.

Handing them a pile of taxpayer money, calling it a government
"investment" just to keep them in business under their current
organizational structures won't do a damn thing.
I agree.
Tough call. I don't like these bailouts, but can we afford not to?
In this country, 1 in 10 jobs are connected to the auto
industry. If
the auto companies fail, we're talking depression, not recession.
All of this, could get real scary, real quick.
Busting the unions should be a requisite part of any bailout plan.
Otherwise they will be back again in a few years looking for another
handout. It's time we earn from our mistakes and stop repeating them.

This from a guy whose career highlight was cleaning the heads aboard a
navy ship?
We used to send numb-nuts like you all over the ship looking for
replacements for burned out headlights.
You do realize many Navy ships have carried vehicles. And if you
checked one and a headlight was out, you got one from stores. And
gofers generally ask where to get the stuff.

Guess the joke was usually on Jimbo.

My guess is that FloridaJim *was* the joke his entire time aboard ship.

Here's a riddle for you. Who's salary history is exhibited on the internet?
