I say so

Republicans have almost always conspired to destroy the American family. How? They want low wages for the masses, yet support high medical bills, high funeral expenses, and they are against low- cost day care for children. The result? Destroyed families, as parents work 2, 3, or 4 jobs to make ends meet. This keeps parents away from their children- their kids are un, or poorly, supervised.

The recent proposed loan to the auto industry can never save the industry, yet shows how Republicans really feel- they did not hesitate too much to throw almost a trillion dollars toward brokers and bankers who have never really worked a honest day in their lives...Yet when it came time to merely lend a few billion to the auto companies, the issue for Republicans was : blue collar workers a too fat and well cared for, we need to make them suffer.

Republicans made a strategic mistake: if/when the auto industry goes down the tube, the GOP will shoulder part of the blame. This will be used against them two years from now in the midterm elections.

I'm against bailouts, yet something should be done to prevent a collapse of our auto industry. I don't think a bankruptcy is desirable. The managers of GM particularly should go to jail, just for their killing off of the electric car idea in the 1990's. Managers in charge of the proliferation of SUV's should go to prison.
(I don't know exactly what charge one might bring against them, but we could use the 'say so' rule. This is an expression, usually heard in the deep south beginning in the hippie era- when an apprehended suspect objects to his arrest and asks why he's going to jail, the sheriff tells him "'Cause I say so."
