I am certainly not an economist but it seems to me that the problem is caused by a lack of sales of their products which created a lack of profit and should have resulted in a cutback in production. Will federal money increase sales, the profit and production generator for all manufacturing, or will they continue to produce more than they can sell to appease the unions? And don't say we have to save American automakers; how many automakers in Alabama are being bailed out? Are their jobs less American because they have names like Mercedes, Hyundai, Honda, or Toyota? Could it have anything to do with the cost of production in union vs nonunion plants? BTW, my company drives all GM products.
