Does anyone work on their own car anymore? Does anyone think that automakers have designed automobiles which are expensive to repair or difficult to work on? Does anyone think they are going to change?... Is it possible the auto makers are looking out for their employee paychecks more than the consumers pocketbook? Does anyone feel super sorry for the auto workers? Then we should definitely use tax dollars to keep them in business - for sure! bailout… Does anyone work on their own car anymore?

As for electric and hybrid they aren't going to be economical for a while. The answer is more oil at home and less union and govt. mandates on cars. You know all cars now come with a release inside the trunk of a car incase you lock yourself in, good call on making that a mandatory requirement!

They fly to Washington, DC in their private jets to as Congress for money because their companies are failing…what’s wrong with this picture? The big three auto makers need to scale down, improve efficiencies and cut costs. If they would, they could compete with the other auto makers like Toyota.

I agree with trying to increase fuel efficiency and green cars but if the money can't be used for existing operations they won't be here to move in this direction. Very tough decision for those who have to make it. Good luck, I'm happy it's not me in that burning hot seat.
