Bailout - I am NOT a GM Employee or Union Member

Sal Collaziano · 11-19-2008, 03:00 PM

If you are NOT a GM employee or union member, please vote in this discussion. This is a PUBLIC vote.

**BigAls87Z28** · 11-19-2008, 03:03 PM

I support it, and do not work for GM nor am a Union member.

GMC-70 · 11-19-2008, 03:05 PM

Support it--no ties to the industry what-so-ever. A GM fan yes

SirRaven · 11-19-2008, 03:13 PM

Quick comment, can we change the wording in the poll to LOAN rather than bailout. The auto companies are not looking to get bailed out, but just want to get a loan that they cannot get from banks anymore due to the credit crisis they created.

Thanks

Thanks

But the MSM insists it's a bailout so it must be true

I support it, but with serious conditions and strings attached.

I agree and as a GM fan, my emotions may cloud my judgement sometimes. But, I am well aware that changes need to be made if they are to survive in the long term.

Support and I live in MI so I am someone tied to it. This needs to happen, a loan. Not a bailout

I know thats what the 'buzz' word is right now. But really if the financial sector did create a huge shamble for themselves, GM would get the money through them like normal and not need the loan from the government ($25 Billion). Plus they already loaned them money ($700 Billion) even though they caused the entire situation, but seem to refuse to help out the auto industry even though they are somewhat just caught in the wash. Oh and AIG already is on loan terms #2 and the auto industry cant get loan #1.

See someone else know the correct terminology.

It's time for GM (Ford and Chrysler too) to go into Chapter 11 and reorganize. It's the only way.

likearock00 · 11-19-2008, 04:38 PM

As a fan of GM, I want them to succeed and do whatever necessary to survive.

As a taxpayer, I think all compaines should be accountable for their actions. Sink or swim!

MrCritical · 11-19-2008, 05:40 PM

There is no "swim" for GM. Are you willing to risk the future of a nation on it?

96_impala_ss · 11-19-2008, 07:12 PM

I support it. No ties to GM other than a fan.

Oh, you mean that bailout (loan) that Senate has decided to not even vote on now?

Anyone know how to say "**** my Life" in Japanese?
