Fool me once, shame on me…
The car companies are at it again. Just a few months ago they came around to both Canadian and US gov’ts asking for money, promising to change, and they got it. Now they’re back, and bigger than ever. They’re asking for about $22 billion in the US and $10 billion in Canada.
So we dole out money to an industry to avoid massive lay offs, they lay off ton’s of workers (50,000 in the US and about 13,000 in Canada) and then come back for more?
My favorite quote is from Nancy Pelosi. Who said she was hopeful the plans would help lead to the “transformation of our domestic automobile industry into a viable, technologically advanced, and globally competitive manufacturing force.”
This women clearly has no idea how the car companies are run. I think it’s time we let a few of things firms go into bankruptcy and cull the heard a bit.
