The Big Three – And The Government

With the big three in trouble financially the way that they are, and the government doesn't want to help, I've been trying to imagine a USA without the big three, and I can't, every one of these car companies have had a long rich history of building great cars, and trucks, and now they need help.

If I had billions of dollars, they'd already be getting helped with their problem, I realize that they had some problems back in the 1980's with the way that they built quality in their cars, but that has all been taken care of now, but this financial problem of theirs is a lot more complicated then that.

First and foremost I'm going to blame the unions for the financial problems that the automakers are having right now, with their bloated health plans, retirement plans, and severance plans, and next in line has to come the American people, for even entertaining the idea of buying an import car.

First it's just ridiculous to sell out your countries automakers, and buy imports, when the US builds a better car then any of them, I have owned VW's, Toyota's, Mitsubishi's, and Diahatsu's, and I promise you that none of them are better then the Dodge that I have now, or even as good.

The big three are on their way out if the government doesn't help, and there shouldn't even be an if there, they just bailed out wall street, why not help the big three stay in business, they can give AIG billions of dollars to go to the spa, and to go hunting, and have big parties, but not help the big three stay in business, it all sounds stupid to me.

It's time for our government to be American, and make sure that an American institution that has been around for over 100 years doesn't just fade away, I can't even imagine the affect that it would have on our country, and their worried about the economy, what would this do to the economy.

It's time to pull your head out of the sand guys, and quit worrying about your buddies on wall street, be of the people, by the people, and for the people, and save the big three for the people of or country, be American for once, and show that you care.

Help them out, with no stipulations, except that they have to pay it back, it's a loan, and like any other loan it needs to be returned, don't charge them a huge interest rate, and don't look for them to pad your pockets, they have had to do that for years with the unions already, just be American and help them out.
