Let Me Get This Straight

The big three automakers (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) are hurting because they don’t know how to sell cars anymore. To me, this means that they aren’t that important to the economy anymore. Or at the very least that their importance is diminishing.

The big three automakers (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) are hurting because they don’t know how to sell cars anymore. To the United States government, this means that they are so important to the economy that taxpayers should bail them out.

The taxpayers no longer want their products, why should we be forced to give them our money? So that they continue to produce automobiles that we no longer want to (and/or can’t afford to) buy?

If the feds are going to force us to give our hard-earned money to the automakers, can’t we at least get a new car in return?

It makes no sense to reward incompetence and failure. We did that already with George W. Bush and look what we got in return. More incompetence and failure.
