This economy is soooooo freaking stupid right now. And the government with their bailouts to the big corporations is even more apalling. The answer is clear. The answer is in the hands of the consumers. Period. Who needs the bailouts? The consumers. How do you bailout the consumers? It starts with tax refunds after a purchase.
In the case of the Big Three: They will be fine when consumers resume purchasing normal amounts of their products.
Solution: Invest the billions of dollars in the consumers in the form of tax rebates after the vehicles are purchased. Whether it be $5,000 or $20,000 this is the only solution to this problem.
This seems like a hand out to the consumer. Well if the government bails out the Big 3 in the form of "loans" they will just sit on the cash like the banks have.
The government faces far greater losses of revenue if it does not bail out the consumer.
All sectors of this economy will face the trickle down from the fall of the automakers in the U.S. Every single sectors you can think of will face a reduction in revenues. The military isn't even safe. How will the military be funded without tax revenues????
I don't even want to hear about alternative energy at this point. The Big 3 can make a magic carpet car thats runs without any fuel and won't sell it if the consumers are not buying anything. Oil is trading under $50 a barrel today. The incentive at this point is not with alt. energy when oil is very cheap.
This government and the big CEO's had better get their heads out of their asses quick. Would we be in this position if Ross Perot were in office? Doubtful. We need proven leaders/businessmen not greasy slick politicians.
I don't even think the socialist propganda of certain individuals will save us from this mess. We live in a capitalist society. Love it or leave it.
