Can I get to the root of the issue, from the perspective of 'the other side'
(not that I am speaking for everyone... these are my words exclusively).
What got my goat about the whole bail-out of the financial industries, and the loans to GM & Chrysler was and is... There must be Failure in the Free Market which our country is based on. Without the ability to fail, we lose the ability to learn from what it was that caused us to fail in the first place.
(Is anyone even being held accountable?)
Lets take it to a more personal level... I must fail in my own life, to learn, to grow. This is something that has been bred into me throughout my life as an American, hell... as a Human Being. It is my failures which make me who I am today, not just my achievements.
(Achievement/Success is the product of you overcoming your difficulties, your failures!)
But getting back to what Dragoneye said, and he made a great point. Both the "too big to fail" concept, and the purchasing imports over domestic to save money are Moral Issues.
(My argument is consistent though... don't by imports, and don't say anything is too big to fail. Learn from our mistakes and support your fellow American!)
In the end... I do hope for the best for my country, I hope for the best for GM, Chrysler, and Ford. And most of all, I hope for the best for my fellow Americans! But we all fail, it's what makes LIFE.
Without wrong there wouldn't be right.
Without bad there wouldn't be good.
Without failure there wouldn't be success.
