I don’t think you are looking at this from the standpoint of .. The U.S. is on the brink of a depression. Yesterday, jobless claims hit a 26 year high. A 26 year high! Add a few million to that and we will be discussing a 80+ year high. This is not about bailing out a couple of companies but keeping America as we know it!

I know TBL hates the bailout but if the auto industry doesn’t get the bail out it affects many more than just those industries. It affects advertsising agencies and other forms of media.

Since I’m in ad sales, I’m praying for a bailout otherwise I’ll be out of a job.

well obviously im torn on the bailouts. I know people that are being affected by the housing situation (and readers here by detroit). Obviously im rooting for you guys. It’s like voting – do you vote what is best for the long term viability of the country, or in an individual sense?

TBL, you know I love this site and its content, but in all honesty, my friend, what you know about the auto industry could fit in a thimble.

No offense taken. I just know what I’ve read, and formed and opinion.

Not Detroit, but check the name at the end of the first pargraph – from 2001. anyone a subscriber? would love to read the rest …

My Malibu doesn’t get that gas mileage. When the hell did this happen?

Did his argument include the $25B the Big 3 have already received?

It was the usual tongue-in-cheek stuff, but if you really care I believe comedycentral.com has the episode.
