Detroit-Three Bailout?

So is this really the answer, or is it just either a postponement of the inevitable bankruptcy or the first step of a nationalization? Does the reported imposition of a raft of new labor and "green car" mandates suggest the latter?

wait till the left gets in power, they'll either let it slide completely, or just nationalize it "FOR OUR OWN GOOD"

i'm betting on nationalization.

so much for the auto industry in america.

It is neither a postponement of bankruptcy or a nationalization, it is a government loan to get the auto industry through an economic crisis created by 8 years of incompetent government driven by an ideology rather than common sense.

Clinton had to bail us out of Reagan's ideologically driven debt, now it is left for Obama to bail us out of W's ideological disaster.

Good thing the "left" is there to clean up after the right.

Just a postponement of the inevitable.  The big three model is not sustainable in a global marketplace.  Just look at the financials of these companies.  There is no way they can make it.  All we are doing is taking money from productive people and companies and giving it to dying unproductive ones.  

This has nothing to do with Left or Right, per se.  This flushing has been happeining since the 60's.  This is just the end of the line.
