There are a lot of people who are against the auto-industry bailout, especially people in the conservative sector of politics. It comes down to a philosophy of “just let them fail, they’ll come back”. It’s not at simple as they make it seem. Libertarians often try to dumb things down so much, not so other people will believe them, but so they themselves can swallow how utterly moronic their ideas are.

When it comes to bailouts, I always think they are a bit spurious, but in this case if the auto-industry does fall apart in this country, it will never come back. From that point forward, there will not be an American made car one can buy, only Japanese, German, Swedish, Korean, and so forth. This doesn’t bother some people, but this also means that a local industry for mechanized weaponry will almost completely disappear. So, if there is a need to create a lot of jeeps, tanks, and so forth, we won’t be able to make them in-house like we previously did, instead we’ll have to have them made in other countries.

Most of us know what happened to Flint, Michigan, and I hate to think what would happen to many other American towns that are based on the success of the auto-industry. If we can bail out the banks for screw ups for almost $1 trillion dollars, we can spend $25 billion on the auto-industry to help save what little industry we do have left.

I will talk more about American industry in the future, but because it is almost completely gone, we need to save what vestiges we do have left, before we end up a country of burger joints and call centers.
