We should support only those companies that stand up to the oil lobbyists, that keep jobs in the U.S., and innovate in technologies that keep the U.S. green and ahead of foreign competition.

I couldn''t agree more..however the auto industry had a 30 year head start that they caved to and encouraged and enabled the marketing of vehicles that drove our dependency up by 30%...and now they need their heads pulled out of their azzes....but look who is ready to do just that...along with any other industry whose pizz poor business sense has nearly cost us everything we hold dear!!! The Democrats call it a stroke of luck...couldn''t have happened at a better time....and I''m wondering when the majority of workers are going to get wise to them.

I totally agree with you. They have been taking jobs overseas. Also, they fought California which tried to get them to produce better vehicles for gas consumption. I see no reason to interfere with their consequences when they have made it difficult for the rest at every turn.

CBS/AP) Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson called autos a "critical industry" Wednesday but said a $700 billion financial rescue program wasn''t designed for them.

translation....''you''re aren''t part of my clique...you aren''t in my group...you can''t come to my party..."

What garbage...he allowed this melt down to occur on HIS watch and because so many other ''key'' Democrats stood to go down with him...they agreed to let him not only pass the buck, but handle the money being ''granted'', which tax payers are totally in the tank for, and now he has the nerve to get huffy!!! Democrats are just plain full of themselves right about now and basically saying, ''and what are you going to do about it!''. But Pelosi has spoken and wants to give them money...so this will be interesting to see who the b.it.ch in this relationship is....besides Reid or Frank....that''s a given.

During the last decade, U.S. automakers have abused the American public and dug the pit in which they are currently floundering. Automakers chose to reap the benefits of cheaper labor outside the U.S. They chose to compete in marketing instead of technology, and their vehicles continue to be less efficient and less reliable than foreign imports. Moreover, many Americans believe there is collusion between automakers and oil producing nations to keep non-gasoline based technologies from succeeding and keep Americans drunk on foreign oil. The U.S. auto industry has made decisions that have placed them in their current predicament, and now want the same public that they have abused to bail them out. Until U.S. automakers demonstrate that they are changing their ways we should let them flounder. We should support only those companies that stand up to the oil lobbyists, that keep jobs in the U.S., and innovate in technologies that keep the U.S. green and ahead of foreign competition.
