In here we will discuss lolworthy republican logic

[Havaianas]

Republicans oppose bailouts of US automakers then bitch that the Obama administration has done nothing to fight unemployment.

 

[Blessed Former Atheist]

you should be a politician

 

[leapoffaith241]

I opposed the bailouts of the US automakers, because they were making products that didn't sell. Companies should be able to die off if they are not competitive anymore.

 

[Peaceandlove9092]

exactly. same with banks that make poor investment decisions.

 

[hm. rude + not ginger!]

but now they are making products that do sell because they were faced with some cold hard reality and given a final chance to perform.

 

[phedrekushiel]

Always a good idea to let the backbone of our economy default and collapse.

 

[Terance]

I do believe the complaining is that he's spent a fuckton of money that has resulted in jack squat for jobs. But this doesn't strike me as a well thought out thread, so carry on.

 

[janierenel]

Thread failed already.

 

[Catiee]

Exactly. That money is going straight into the pockets of the higher-ups.

 

[Shinjza]

Republicans, LOL!

And? They still couldn't do it themselves. Only after a generous amount of taxpayer money did they become solvent again.

 

[Messed up Mikey]

Yes, they could absolutely work for another automaker that wasn't hiring because the general public isn't spending money on new cars.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

are you saying execs shouldn't be compensated for their jobs?
seems a little communist to me.

 

[Swaaqqqeeerrr -:D]

even if the bailouts worked they were inappropriate on principle.

 

[Over The Line!!]

Or another industry all together. At the time, plenty of cars were selling it just wasn't BIG TRUCKS and V8 POWERED SEDANS, which is all the big 3 were pushing at the time. It took them almost failing and a bunch of taxpayer money to get that stupid idea out of their heaRAB.

 

[random mentalist.]

is this nga srs

 

[RBnumber20]

yes...another industry...with unemployment double what it was just a few years ago.

If it took taxpayer money and government control to keep them afloat and turn them around, then so be it.

 

[Esad M]

Except Chrysler, who cost taxpayers 1.3billion when the govt de-socialized them and sold them to fiat in June.

 

[Summer1108]

So we should reward the corporation that constantly screw us by keeping them alive? Let them fail and have someone replace them.
