The news today is full of Congress debating whether we should bail out
the auto industry. They didn't ask for help when they arbitrarily lowered
the average miles per gallon ratings by foisting the suvs and trucks on us.
They didn't ask for help when they pulled back the electric vehicles because
they were too good (no gas, no mantainance). They didn't ask for help when they okayed exorbinant pay and fringes for the workers (and execs). They didn't
ask for help when they were the largest seller of vehicles in the world
(they lost that distinction to Toyota recently).
But now, when all of the ineptness becomes apparent ,they ask for help.
Wow, we are one dumb country if they get it. They should wallow in their
own mess.
Let the new companies that are producing electric vehicles we need reap the benefits and assimilate the workers displaced.
