    While we're posting items on the auto industry--here is this video from December that I missed. It's terrific. Hat-tip to Mike P.

    If the auto companies are so great, then why do they need government bailouts to stay in business?

    If car companies can't stand on their own too feet, they should go out of business and make room for companies that know what they're doing. If thousands of people lose their jobs, then "welcome to the Free Market."

    If the top executives at these companies had lost THEIR jobs a long time ago, the companies wouldn't be where they are.
