I was going to post something about this - thanks, Kelly! I'm absolutely spittin' mad about this one! During the last bailout (seems like it was only last month...oh, wait, IT WAS!!!) I was up late writing to my congressmen...is it time to do that again?

I still say let 'em fail, just like I said about the banks. My father in law works for one of the big suppliers and has already agreed to take the buyout this time, but I do worry about my sis and her husband, who work for a supplier as well.

I live in Harris County, GA, which is experiencing explosive growth - due to the auto industry! We have a kia plant slated to open next year, and you should see the number of supplier plants coming in...it's amazing. The "big three" could learn a thing or two from the plants down south (Montgomery AL has the Hyundai plant).

BTW - we have two Hondas as well with a combined 300,000+ miles - my itty bitty Del Sol is almost a classic!
