Nissan is laying off 20,000 and they have no unions. if banks dont open credit again you will eventually see them all fail.

Yeah, Tony...but like I told you when the first bailout was happening, just because the govt. gave them BILLIONS of dollars didn't mean that even one job would be safe.
My grandfather worked hard all of his life. He busted his ass as a farmer, a rancher, and finally worked and became a milllionaire in the citrus industry. No union required. No pension plans, and no govt. assistance. He's 89 years old now and lives with my dad after suffering several strokes a few years ago.
Never asked for anything. Never took anything. And paid more in taxes than many of the folks in this thread have made in their entire lives. THAT is America.
Govt. bailouts and companies being bled to the ground is not supposed to be what this country is about in my opinion.
Just saying tony...the bailouts didn't save one job. Just like I said before. They aren't aimed at saving those jobs. They are aimed at saving those companies so that maybe one day there might be a job there for someone in the future at a reasonable wage so that people can actually afford to buy a car without having to put it on a 5 year financing plan.
