I think the bailout is ridiculous. Granted, I don't want anyone losing their jobs, because I know I would never want anything to cost me my job and if I was on the verge of getting laid off and the government offered to step in and save my job, I wouldn't be complaining. But it's exactly as lestyousay said, it's make a profit or fail. GM, Chrysler, and Ford have all failed. I really do wish they'd make a better product, but they haven't. Obviously they have the potential to make a great car, and they used to do it. With different people in control of those companies, I believe they could make a strong comeback. They have the capability to make a reliable motor, they just don't want to do it.

Griffgirl put it perfectly. I only got $34 in financial aid for school this year when one year of college costs more than what my family made. The government can't give me any money to go to school, but they can cough up an exorbitant amount to bail these companies out because some morons can't figure out the right way to make money.
