I personally have no problem givng the big 3 a loan. I just am smart enough to realize it will not help a thing.
i really agree with this view. the big three are gonna need to radically change, and the unions being there havnt helped them become any leaner over the years. this bill being half of what they asked should hopefully push them to be smart
