Especially for the "C" private company. These Big 3 did not out-perform the foreign car makers in the past (during good time) and don't believe they can survive for long especially during recession even with the bailout $, hence... No no no. Especially for the “C” private company.

Detroit has had to be dragged kicking & screaming into the future. Resistance to CAFE. Resistance to California's clean air legislation. Toyota saw the writing on the wall and they are building cars here in the US. Let the big three fail. -ARC Absolutely not. Detroit has had to be dragged kicking & screaming into the future.

Of Chrysler's 26 models on sale in both 2007 and 2008, only four have sold more this year than last, and three of those are small-volume niche vehicles such as the Dodge Viper. The company's market share has dwindled from 16.2 percent in 1996 to 11 percent this year, according to Ward's AutoInfoBank. Analysts say there are no cutting-edge designs or potential big sellers in sight to rescue the maker of the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brands. =D~ Chrysler’s U.S. sales are down 25 percent through September, the worst decline of any major automaker.

We pay GM to buy Chrysler and then we pay them again to buy cars from them? We should pay the house builders money to buy land and raw materials and when they are done, we can buy houses from them. We can pay cotton farmers money to buy farms and then we'll pay them for the clothes on our backs. Need to eat?....... Pay taxes so fishing companies can buy the oceans so they can sell us fish to eat. Need a job? Pay taxes that go to GM so they can buy Chrysler and lay off thousands upon thousands of people, but hey you still have a job working at GM-Chrysler, and they'll hire you to make cars that they'll sell to you so you can get to work. Not making enough at GM-Chrysler? Any competition for jobs elsewhere? No competition, they'll pay crappy wages and get away with it. So then you can pay more taxes so they can buy Ford..............

If our tax money goes to GM to buy Chrysler, GM's tax money should go to buy us all brand spanking new cars of our choice. Something is horribly wrong with this picture. Absolutely not.
