Everyone keeps talking about Detroit, blah, it's Flint that is suffering. A majority of the factories are here and so many have already lost their jobs. Many will be laid off indefinitely at the end of this week. Christmas lights are not twinkling very bright this year because people don't have the money to power them, the energy to put them up or a majority of the houses that used to be homes to happy families now sit empty. Yes the auto industry is STUPID. They shouldn't have built all those factories in India and Mexico and expected Americans, that no longer had jobs, to still be able to afford their cars. Do they deserve a bail out? No, but the workers do. The economy does. Here in Michigan, especially Flint it will be massive chaos if they don't get something.It's bad already. I really don't want to see it get any worse. I also live in Michigan, in Flint. Everyone keeps talking about Detroit, blah, it’s Flint that is suffering.

If they think that, why the hell did they bail out Wall Street, which was way more financially irresponsible than bailing out the auto industry. The Senate’s response is ridiculous.

Really? When I can use my brain to imagine/make/improvise my own?'" There is the spirit that will make us into the America we were!

I live in Michigan, kinda ground zero. The automakers are asking for loans, not bailouts with no oversight or strings attached (like the huge one the financial industry got) They are willing to work within guidelines and with oversight. And that ripple effect you may have heard of is very real - what affects the auto industry also affects thousands of other companies, big and small - all the companies that supply parts, package those parts, ship those parts - you get the picture. Not to mention all the companies that depend on what auto workers spend their paychecks on - food, utilities, taxes, clothing, etc. OK, I agree with about 90% of what you said, BUT I believe the auto industry should be given a hand.

I can't find his reaction anywhere, you said he gave them the money but I can't find the story. Wait…where’s the story on what Bush said?
