As an employee of a GM dealership, the success of the American auto industry is very important to me. It is true, the U.S. automakers have not always made the best business decisions. But in recent years the products are of much better quality, deliver better fuel economy and offer great value for dollars spent. Visit GMfactsandfiction.com for more information.
When the CEOs went before the Senate, maybe they could have thought more about the image they projected by flying on their private jets. But that is not the main problem. Let's not forget that when automakers lose billions, it is their OWN money and that of the stockholders.
When the lawmakers spend billions and keep this country in debt, it is the U.S. taxpayers' money that we have no choice but to supply them with. All automakers are dependent on people buying their products as the market (and media) dictates. I take great offense at the demeaning behavior toward the CEOs and the workers they represent.
It is time we ALL work together to do what is best for ALL. Have faith in American industry, support it by buying products when you can, and let your lawmakers know that loans to U.S. automakers must happen quickly. Loans will be paid back, unlike the billions spent on government handouts that have plagued us for decades.
