This country was founded on the ideals of capitalism and free markets, this entails growing pains. The banking, housing and auto conglomerates have made poor choices regarding their policies, and by God they will not be the ones to finally turn this nation socialist, even if it gives Pelosi wet dreams. Let the industry take hits and if they don't survive, oh well. With as talented and educated a workforce America has we seem to think that nobody will hire after this thing blows through. As much as we all hate it, we are going to have do it the Civil War way: stick a bullet between the teeth and let them take a leg. Forget the anesthetics.
