Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Finance, the economy & Economics Bailing out the auto industry - yes or no?

It's a turn in the topic, Mellow Julia, toward the question of "what strings should be attached to a bailout?". I think there are two strands of thought that are worth highlighting. One is that it isn't enough to make a good product. The other is that bad management can screw up anything.

How is it, I wonder, that Honda and Toyota, to name two, can find such good managers who are willing to work for so much less money than the bad managers who infest GM?

Oh, did I mention that I own a 98 Saturn? Wagon. 185,000 miles. One of the electric windows doesn't work. Otherwise, nearly perfect in every way.
