Should the big 3 be bailed out?

[emayer]

I drive by the carcass of Bethlehem Steel daily which serves as a reminder of what happens to large unwieldy companies with unyielding unions.

IMO we should not bail these industries out.  We shold not be on the hook for companies that are unwilling/unable to adapt to market conditions (we've been complaining about the US auto product line for decades) nor is it the taxpayers obligation to fulfill union contracts....  If we start down this road, when will it stop?  Airlines next?

Whatever happened to the free market principle?  Have we lost faith in our ability to take adversities such as this and create something better as a result?  Is there a clause in the constitution that states that Americans are not to suffer hardship?

I'm done ranting for now....  hock:
