Bailing Out Automakers?
WHY have the Democrats in Congress proposed a $25 BILLION dollar bailout for the ailing auto industry?
I’m really not so surprised that my party wants to help the “needy” automotive companies who pay their Presidents more than OUR President, but I am surprised—and appalled—at the Democrat’s focus on big business here. I mean…come on! Are they Democrats or Republicans?
In all this talk about the failing stock market and economy, I am hearing very little about the PEOPLE of America, other than as a supposed “beneficiary” of big business. (Reagan’s trickle-down theory dies hard.)
Why don’t they propose some real help for the average American, who is poorer right now than he or she has ever been?
Why don’t they extend unemployment benefits for another six months, instead of the puny 13 weeks of the last extension?
Why? Because big business, through their campaign contributions, has corrupted the Democratic Party, and Americans have (and will continue to) suffer because of that.

The proposed bailout is less a bailout of the Big 3 automakers and more a bailout of the United Auto Workers union and the cities that are home to the various automaker manufacturing plants. Do you have any idea how many jobs across the US could be lost if the Big 3 went under? In addition, Detroit and many other cities across the US rely heavily on the tax dollars the manufacturing plants bring in.
The Democrats are proposing help for the average American by supporting this bailout. This bailout will allow thousands of Americans to keep their jobs and will keep the infrastructure of many cities from crumbling.
Good point, Whiskey, but it still smacks of the “trickle down” theory of helping the American people, to me.
I agree. Why not take some of that 25 billion and allocate it across the board to us. It would stimulate the economy and help the average American.
Well all we can do is live day to day. What else can we do really?
