White House: We have no desire to run GM or any auto company

The government is full of sh*t. Either loan them the money or not. How can they say they have no desire to run GM when they promise to bail out GM ONLY if they make these changes? That sounds like they are running them to me...

They need someone to run it for them, because when they ran it themselves they ran it into the ground. What would you suggest should happen to GM?

I suggest they take over, give the U.S. tax payers shares in the company, grow the company to become sustainable and then watch the stock price grow giving us the chance to sell it if we want or buy at a discount. The U.S. takes over countries to fix them, you're telling me that they won't take over one of it's own companies to fix it? Sounds like America has it's priorities messed up.

What they should do is put us in charge. I'm tired of these old farts running companies they don't know how to run. I'm not saying I know much about running a corporation, I'm just saying when I'm relying on cars like the PT cruiser to bring me in profits, that'd I would have been skeptical on how long that would last.

Right! Fix this economic mess and perhaps the Auto industry wouldnt be in the shape they are in.

If I'm not mistaken the Stock markets around the world saw their greatest gains during Bush/Cheney. What brought the economies of the world down where the stupidity of the Democrats in pushing the mortgage lending issues which finally exploded and created a domino effect throughout many industries. Let's not blame the obvious for everything!

America's only priorities are raping the country so the rich get richerand then whining like a bunch of little b1tches when things go wrong.

You want to bring America back to a world power? The soulution is a simple and easy one.

1. There should be a heafty import tax on anything touching our shores some say this is not fare but many of our companies are not allowes to sell items in many other countries. This will allow America to produce more of its own items on a fare bases on par with foreign companies.

2.Bring back manufactoring industries to the US. If step one was follwed then manufactoring jobs would crop up more easily given that we can compeate better against imports including autos.

3.stay out of foreign wars. how many kids could we have put in college with the mone spent from Iraq alone?

Disagree, only because we depend on foreign investments and investments come when there is fare trade and opportunity for growth (not to mention a working legal system, etc). Isolating yourself from the world limits your economic growth. The US is not a growing country like China so we cannot afford to ignore the global markets and we must defend our interests/trade partners.

The solution needs to address the basic need... education. Just look at the percentage of people with minimum income living off everyone else. This is the problem IMO but it is hard to believe that the uneducated will get ever get educated because the mentality here is "what can my country do for me" and not "what can I do for my country". This is the land of the free ... to do whaever we please, including burning our flag, banning the pledge of allegiance, respect others (what respect?), kill traditions, protect terrorists, shame our warfighters, sue our parents, racism, liberalism.

It is shameful that we take "free" to mean anything but we forget about respect, honor and loyalty.
