Response to "What I Think"

Jason,
I do not agree that SUV's and trucks do not sell. Even when gas was four dollars, do you know what the highest selling vehicle in America was? It was not a Toyota. It was a Ford truck, the F-150.
And to your point that other companies are more deserving of the money, aren't all companies that ask for bailout money flawed anyway? The banks and other financial institutions that are asking for the bailout money do not deserve anything. They have a flawed business planned because they started giving home loans to people who they knew would never pay them off.
Oh, and you know what? The reason the automakers were making SUV's was because that is what the consumer wanted. Back before gas went up, everyone wanted a big car, not because they did not have a choice, but because they wanted a big vehicle.
And the fact that you made these claims without even knowing what you are talking about is disturbing. The auto companies have been working on electric cars and hydrogen powered cars before the price of gas spiked.
And another thing, what SUV's and trucks are you talking about? Their fuel economy is not bad anymore like it once was. Most get over twenty M.P.G., which is better than it once was. The only vehicles that get terrible fuel mileage are the trucks that are so big you have to use a ladder to get in. Those are the ones that the good ol' boys wanted to outdo each other with bigger and bigger trucks.
Will you please wake up and see that the Big Three tried before all of this happened. But I do have to say, the two companies that do not deserve to be bailed out are Chrysler and General Motors because they are not trying to be become profitable. Chrysler was pretty much bankrupt before all of this happened. And GM will not sell off some of the companies that they own to cut down costs. Ford, on the other hand has sold off Aston Martin and Land Rover because these companies were not making Ford money.
Anyway, I think you should look at the facts before you make these statements.
