Most people don't agree with how the Wall Street bailout happened and was handled and that is probably why they are being extra tough on the auto industry, learning from their mistakes and the pissed off americans. We're having kind of that "carpet bomb the middle east!!" reaction we had after 911.

And yes I think the Republicans are just being dicks at this point but I was also quite pissed at the Democrats early on who seemingly just wanted to give them cash with no questions asked. Both the Wall Street situation and the auto industry situation have shown us all exactly which party is in bed with who.

But in the current agreement on the table I do like the fact that they can be forced into bankruptcy if they don't perform after a set period of time.

Why are people who play the market such idiots? How can they see the government handing out our money to failing companies as a good thing and start a rally? As they did with the last bailout/public raping.

Sarcasm?

Isn't this entire thread about blanket statements?

Agreed. I wish we could find a way to turn this into auto companies that produce great plugin hybrid vehicles.

That's not a paycut, its a mass layoff...which there will be plenty of in the auto industry as well. Details are important.

The point is, why does Wall Street get special treatment? Why are we only up in arms now?

Anyway, whatever, its a bucket of shit thats for sure.
