OK we dont bail them out! how much will each person living in an auto producing state be taved for unemployment insurance? When half the dealerships close, who pays the property taxes that support schools, and civil services?This is a lose lose situation.About half the retired auto workers will go onto ERISA, who pays that? those with young familys, will lose many health benefits, who will pay that? Its cheaper in the long run to loan them the money, and charge a small interest to do it, that way the politicians can add more benefits to their substantial packages they already get.Wake up, all the states are lining up for bail outs, citing poor economic situations, will dening a bail out help?And when the american car industry goes under, where will the competion stopat price gouging?Sure bail outs ****, we dont get any, but we will pay more for not doing it.I worked at a ford assembly plant for almost two weeks when I just turned 18, it was like a gulag when you're starting out. Opted for a nice dirty steel mill job instead.Of course the steel mills are almost all gone, owned by other counties, my cousin was laid off as an iron worker, because they couldn't get steel two years ago.
