Demand for vehicles has fallen sharply. The government can't change that with a taxpayer-funded bailout. Car companies should sink or swim on their own merits. The government's limited resources should be used to stimulate the economy in a way that benefits everyone, like infrastructure investment.I don't want to make car payments unless I buy a car. With this bailout, I'll be paying the shareholders of GM and Ford through the higher taxes and lower government spending which will be necessary to pay off the bailout debt, with interest. We don't really care much about fiscal discipline in this country. But, I guess that's why we are where we are economically.
