Why borrow it from the banks when they can get it for free from the government? They're not that lame.
the 300billion they need to bail themselves out is sitting on all the freakin car lots,,cars will be made to order from now on...
McDonalds went out of business today ,they made 300 million bigmac's and didnt sell them all
If you were directly employed by the auto industry like he WAS, you would fully understand his first sentence. I do. I feel the same way.
Tires will still be sold and parts will still be made whether new cars are being built or not. Am I missing something?
You don't understand the industry. Vast majority are "made to order". The dealer ordered it to have in stock because it's something they sell a lot of. Lots of people go window shopping and see what they like, and can drive it to see/feel it in person. They MUST have inventory to sell anything. Very few are patient enough to order something to their exact spec and wait for it, especially when the rebates get good (though with chrysler you can pick whether you want the incentives that were out when you ordered it or the incentives that are out on the day of delivery.) But when the ones in stock don't sell, you don't order anymore. Of course, since they have to pay the workers 95% of their wages whether the plant is idle or not, they may as well crank out a warehouse full and make good incentives to buy them.
What tires will still be sold for & what parts will still be made? And, more importantly, why will tires still be sold and why will parts still be made?
And I would like for my response to not be taken as a vote for or against the bailout. And you are missing something, & when you find the missing link, you will understand why people are standing on both sides of the fence on this issue.

Yeah but we should have adopted that strategy before we bailed out the banks. Or any previous bailouts. I believe they were actually originally asking for a share of the not yet alotted bank bailout money.
It's like... screw you guys, but read my long winded anyway.
