While I believe we should not support a bailout of the auto makers as things stand, I would support giving them help or assistance if and only if they the following we input for the bailout of them.
1. Do something about the CEO and the rest of the High Ranking Exec's that will really benefit from the bail out. Take the stock options they have and their bank accounts and apply to the bailout. Take control of their property and sell off to pay for the bailout. One knows all the workers in the factories will lose their butts in this deal, so make the big guy's suffer as well.
2. Make the automakers redo the plants and produce so called "Green Autos". I believe we are way behind times of Japan and so on when it comes to Auto's. We need to be heading torward Energy Conservation when it comes to autos. While big suv's are nice they are gas guzzlers. We got rid of out Expedition and Supercrew 4x4. My wife drives a small car now and I ride bike to work. My choice but i am doing my part. Just because Gas prices are coming down, we dont need to get in a relaxed state of mind. I believe now is the best time to make changes in the right directions.
3. Make sure that we the people are informed on how they do it. Dont tell us you are going to bail them out and this will happen and that will happen. prove to us what is taking place. Look what AIG did, they went on a 440,000 retreat after the bailout of them took place/
This is my thought on this deal. I know there is alot more involved that we the people dont know and will not be informed on. Yes the unions are a big deal in this, but so are the Chief Exec's. If you are going to do it, DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!
There is entirely to much bailout going on with nothing to show for it. Yoda posted a question about bailing Yoda out. Remark was made when you effect 2 million workers. Yoda has a point, if you bail out these big compaines your really are bailing out the CEO,COO and high ranking exec's. I understand and I think Yoda does also. Its a point that is being made with the comment. I hope I am putting it right.
Any way that is my 2 cents.
