You know, coming from Michigan, I had many family/friends working for the Auto industry (factory mostly). It's been years, and I've lost track of who works where, and many are probably retired now. I surely don't want to see thousands more lose their jobs and I am not necessarily against this bailout, BUT the more I hear the more I do blame the auto industry CEOs and their greed and/or poor management, or whatever.

I do think the must come up with a "plan" as Pelosi said. How can we just hand over money if nothing will change. What's sad is these companies have known and been urged to, for a long time now, work on alternative fuel ideas and they haven't.

I am no expert on the inner makings of these companies, but shouldn't they high-ups (or whomever) take the responsiblity? Or seriously, what if they did file bankruptcy, could they do that and then try to get back on their feet? Like I say, I'm no expert on this, but wondering. It's just a a shame that the average harding working, Blue Collar Joes lose their jobs because of their greed no?
