They know they can't plod along. Nor can they change without help. I simply cannot see how it is in the best interest of the US economy to allow hundreds thousands of auto industry workers and millions of other American workers who will as a direct effect of those lost jobs lose their's in turn. This is the type of event that could quickly turn a period of recession into a full blown depression and that would affect each and every one of us.
But what indication is there at all that $25 billion dollars is going to make any difference other than delay the inevitable a few months and waste much more taxpayer money in the process?
These guys have no ideas whatsoever, it's brutally clear. They just want to survive a little longer.
