Michael Lyons-You get it.
Michael Beard-You obviously don't. If you think for a minute that GM going under won't effect your life then you have not looked at all the facts. Maybe only in the smallest of ways but it will have an effect. Glenn Beck won't tell you the whole story but he will tell a story none the less. I guess if you are not a GM guy then we should have the opinion "Aw screw them guys-they did it to themselves". Does anybody realize the impact that the Mortgage, loan and banking industry has on the economy? 700 billion and 150 billion for a total of 850 billion and it was given to these people without question. The automakers on the other hand got bent over the rail and fornicated without grease for asking for what essentially is 34 billion. Staggering numbers for sure. But where is the complaining about the mortgage, loan and banking people? I am not hearing how our lives are better because of their failure. Think about 300,000 plus people in the United States having to file for unemployment at the same time. What a financial drain. Are you going to feed a hot meal to a person or give them shelter for a night in your home when we hit rock bottom (thats what people did for other people in the Great Depression). I think that the answer is NO. That is what kind of country we have become it appears. I am pretty vocal about this issue as I live in the heart of the Big Three and have educated myself about this issue. Mr. Beard-the money for the Big Three is not a bailout like the banking industry. It is a bridge loan. Check it out. The info is on the internet.
