Manny,

Of course you are right! Let all the car manufacturers and their suppliers and employees go belly up. The banks and insurers too. We need another depression as we had post 1929. Or as Germany had after WW1.

That will bring the strong to power! :-)

Yes you are right-- Right OOYFM!

You are right, Marc, nationalizing a private company !
What a typical French attitude of the Old Continent !
Or even worse: imagine asking the taxpayer to pay for the debt of a private company ! My Goodness !
Only French Socialists allied with Communists could no that !
"They" did it in France in 1936, then after WW-II in 1945 (the French National Railways for example) and again in 1981 under President Mitterand's governement ! You are lucky, in the New World, you'll never see one of your governements doing something similar ! ;-);-)
