Say No to the Auto Industry Beggars

Well, Mr. West you seem to believe let the companies fail that have led themselves to failure. In that scenario wouldn't we the taxpayers just let wall street fail, and all of the banks that are in financial trouble. You are just another one of those one sided people that thinks only their part of the economy is important. Are you one of the brilliant individuals that thought oil should go to $200 a barrel to make even more money off of the American people with higher gas and heating oil prices. Besides I am supposed to think your article is well researched when you can't even add $14 billion to $25 billion in your second paragraph. Well you say no to the auto industry beggars, I bet you weren’t saying that when congress at first did not approve the $700 billion to save wall street and the financial institutions that got them so far in debt that they were on the verge of failure. I bet you agree with the multi-billions for AIG who by the one does not manufacture anything, who I don‘t think could explain in one paragraph what they actually do. You think allowing more job losses more in unemployment benefits, maybe more on welfare is a better solution then LOANING the automakers $34 billion dollars which is a far cry from the $700 billion that was given to wall street and bankers. Heck even $134 billion in loans is far better then giving away $700 billion. Remember it is a loan for the automakers not a bailout, wall street was bailout that we the taxpayers will be paying off for GENERATIONS and you don't seem to have an issue with that.

GM Bailout Would Be Agony for Taxpayers

So, if we as taxpayers allow the big three to fail how many additional jobs go along with their demise, auto dealers, restaurants, convenient stores, so forth and so on. I don’t think some of you that want to see this industry fail realizes how many jobs are tied to the industry. How many of you that buy a new vehicle look to see where they content is produced. Just because Toyota assembles a car or truck in the United States does not mean they stamp parts in the United States, or have the interiors made in the United States. There are more to manufacturing then just assembly. I can think of a lot of small communities that rely on the big three or one of the small business that produce parts for the big three for tax revenues. I guess we will just allow those communities to fail also.

I see Toyota got their truck pulled from Consumer Reports, was that for their great reliability? Have you seen the quality reports published in the last few years for GM, Ford, and Chrysler?

How many miles per gallon does the Tundra get or one of Toyotas SUV's? WHAT A DISGRACE!!!!! Get you facts straight, Toyota makes gas guzzlers also because people were buying them when gas was cheep and they wanted their piece of the pie. Or are you one of the people in the United States that forgot what the Japanese did to us in WW2, maybe once they control all of our manufacturing they can build our tanks and fighter jets and sell them to us at a discount at a time of war, WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
