Reports Rasmussen: "Forget the national debate over more government loans for General Motors and Chrysler. Most U.S. voters (57%) say one of them is at least somewhat likely to go out of business over the next few years anyway." According to the same poll, 44 percent of voters say its better for the economy to let companies like GM fail than to subsidize them. Do you think GM and Chrysler are likely to go out of business anytime soon? Do you think that, for the sake of the greater economy, government subsidies for automakers are justified? Post your thoughts.

Why does our hard earned tax dollars always find a home in a society who's miss managed goverment freely gives it away to corporations who can't even balance their own check books?

If you personaly had billions of dollars to freely give away to help someome out of a bind don't you think you'd look T THEIR TRACK RECORD?

Our goverment is so stupid their just as bad as the big three.

Our goverment gave Yale or Harvard a million bucks to study why people fall off of bicycles, I would have given them the answer for 5 dollars; it's called gravity!

No wander so many foreign countries want to blow us off the face of the map.

Will we ever wake up? or is it too late?
