Should the US bailout the big three automakers?

Yeah Let them F___in fail. That way. We can put 2- 3 million Americans out of work. Put them on unemployment insurance for a year. That should be cheaper for sure. Pay to retrain them. To do what I don't know. Maybe bartender school? There won't be much demand for high paying jobs when the economy is in shambles.

Take away those huge pension checks too. $1500 on average is way to much for Ma and PA. Let them crawl to the gov't and file for medicaid. That doesn't cost the taxpayer a dime right?

And All those stupid Americans that have succumbed to pre-existing medical conditions should be left cold. That way when/if they find new employment they can be denied medical because of that "pre-existing" condition. That is IF they find an employer that offers medical insurance.

Yeah those damned Americans don't deserve what they have. They're overpaid bums! They build crappy cars like the Ford Focus(37mpg) or the Chevy Malibu (33 mpg) or the Dodge Charger (27mpg) and the Corvette for that matter. What a gas hog. Each Corvette probably comes with it's own hole in the ozone layer.

Some of you just don't get it.

This can be fixed with proper oversite of the industry. They made Chrysler do it in 1979-1983. They can do it again.
I know everyone has BAIL- OUT Fatigue right now. And with good reason. But with the current financial crisis we're in we can't afford to make a mistake of this magnitude. It could trigger a catstrophe of epic proportions. Foreign governments are praying to God that we allow OUR manufactuing base to wither and die!

GO America!
