just give them the money

it's not the big three's fault that you, congress, casually dished out $700 billion to wall street without even a fraction of the scrutiny you're giving to chrysler, ford, and gm in a silly show of new found concern about taxpayers' money.

no one's buying cars right now- foreign hybrids or gas guzzling F-150s. people don't have jobs. many don't have homes.

i hope the country holds congress accountable if they allow this industry and all of its related small, medium and large businesses to collapse. i hope we remember who voted against this when thousands of workers, retirees and their families lose their health care and pensions.

it seems a little crazy that part of congress's prosecution is about health care liabilities. these companies and uaw are being questioned and punished for giving their workers health insurance? yeah, their production costs are going to be a little higher when they are competing against countries where health care is considered a right for its citizens.

these hearings make me sick.
