The problem is the explanation. The financial industry is the underpinnings of the entire economy. While the autos are just a big part. Plus, and this is a big one, the financials are in large part a failure because of the politicians. They don't want that skeleton brought before the public anymore then it already has been. It has some very important names hiding in there. Don't look for hearings anytime soon. The autos also open up a pandoras box of why not me. At what point is someone too big to fail?

I understand the reply for the most part, as long as the house or property does have value, which obviously, many will have, but I would have had this same response as you.

And if we compare apples to apples, the auto industry isn't asking anywhere near what these banks are asking for.
 
Personally if I were running these companies, I would have filed bankruptcy a long time ago before I spent all my money and sold my equities.

Not sure if you could legally pull it off. But it would be nice to dump all the retirees, healthcare, and bills for them. And the Unions.

Save them a whole heck of a lot of money.

Morally it stinks, but mathematically it makes sense.

The financial system is 90% of the reason for everything.

Anybody here know ANYONE that has paid cash for a car in the last ten years?

I think the average car loan now is 6 years I read somewhere. By the time you make your last payment, the car is all beat up. I don't get it.
