I don't understand why so many people equate the government bridge loans to "socialism." Maybe I haven't read enough articles or watched enough news, but I am under the impression that these bridge loans are intended to be a "bail out" of a failing industry that has been identified (at least by some) as essential to the manufacturing industry (as a whole), the national economy and national security. Are we really against all that?

Don't forget…This is a loan. Unlike Wall Street's gift.Steps to success for the Detroit 3(after they get the loan):1) UAW must take concessions and renegotiate their contracts. There was a time/place for the UAW, but obviously, they are hurting more than helping in this situation.2) The Detroit 3 must be lean. Lean in everything they do. Personnel, expenses, cost savings projects(inventory carrying costs), etc. I know personally there is a lot of human feces at GM. Dump it and don't feel like you have to buy them out. They suck at their job, so fire them.3) Build cars that Americans want. I think they have began to do that, but don't waste time/money building the Solstice, Colbalt, Trailblazers, HHRs. Obviously, I'm focusing on GM as I'm an ex-employee. Sell Hummer, Saab.4) The government must relax the CAFE standards. I believe they want the average MPG to be 40MPG by the year 2010! Think about it…impossible. I'd say GM's average right now is probably around 24MPG. I personally believe, not only in buying American but, buying Michigan products. The government obviously isn't going to take care of us. So screw them. Let's take care of ourselves. Start buying products made in Michigan(cars, food, etc). This can only help get Michigan out of their personal recession(which begun back in 2001). Keep our plants running and screw the rest of the country.

But Bus, the path to socialism already occurred when they decided to give several Wall Street firms 700 Billion Dollars without any repercussion for their actions.Why then are some of the politicians who were so willing to give up that money now opposed to giving auto companies a fraction of that?I understand people's position that the government should stay out of private business. Its actually a position I support. But its hard for me not to get angry when I see such a blatant double standard.

Let's see, a conservative republican who doesn't want to socialize the auto industry — what's the problem? Being a Michigander, it is a hard pill to swallow to let the Big Three go bankrupt and perhaps under completely. But it isn't worth the path to socialism that this country is heading down.Government involvement in the car industry is part of the problem, not to mention that the proposed plan fixes nothing. It merely puts a band-aid over it. Union contracts need to be renegotiated and CAFE standards relaxed. With the passing of this bill, the Big 3 will be at the whim of the jerks in Washington who couldn't get water to New Orleans. And yes, DMtShooter, if a company does bad business, it DOES deserve to fail.That being said, I agree with WOI that Bunning probably should tread lightly with his trip to Michigan. But at least he's willing to show his face and take any criticism that comes his way. I wonder if Obama will do that.

When Bunning played, he was a mean SOB who was hated. The Senate and 40 years haven't changed much. Kentucky deserves him.Ask him if preventing a recession makes him French, or for his entire list of companies that deserve to fail, if you really want a fight…http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/business/12/07/08/us-economic-skid-raises-fears-deep-global-downturn
