Who said the government is going to run the company or design the cars? You guys are reacting without thinking.
We are handing over an enormous amount of money anyhow, at least this way we might see a profit when -- as clearly stated above which you seem to have totally ignored -- we sell the corporation down the road when it has become profitable again.
If you ask me, we ought to nationalize healthcare. That is one thing that cripples our car manufacturers when competing with foreign manufacturers. That and the fact that other countries subsidize their car companies.
The U.S. is no longer in a position to call the shots in the global economy. There has to be some give and take here regarding this absurd paranoia about "creeping socialism" or we are going to go completely down the crapper. Wake up and smell the coffee, folks, it's broke and we have to fix it.
