No Bailout ! Let them suffer the consequences of their excesses.

Fire the greedy SOBs and sell the private jets.   No CEO is worth that much, especially when they do such a lousy job foreseeing the market.    

why so bitter? are you guys part of the housing crisis, did you take out loans that were too good to be true, then its you that caused this mess, not employees and management at general motors

Not one of these guys could take a commercial flight.  What if someone recognizes him?  If I saw one of these a-holes getting off a plane, I'd punch him in the nose.  Same goes for the wall street execs.  The bailout is complete and utter bullsh-t.

These guys are so far out of touch with reality it scary to put more money in their hands!! I want to hear they are giving up the "golden bonuses, pensions, private jets" before they get any more hand outs at my expense!! I've had to cut back drastically - they should too!!!

 Seriously?!?!  28 million dollars a year and  the use of a private jet??  To do what??  Your company is going broke and you don't know how to fix it??  Stop paying people 28 million dollars a year.  Salaries have gone insane. NO ONE... I mean NO ONE is worth 28 million dollars a year for their work. The little man working in the factory you run, doesn't make 20,000 A YEAR and you just spent his salary to fly in a jet to beg for money and if it's unsuccessful.. you are going to tell him he NO LONGER has a job.  How do these people sleep at night?

Where is Lee Iacocca? No Bailout unless all the members of the Board of Directors and the top Exec's they have put in charge are prosecuted and have their posessions confiscated and put back in to cover the hole they have caused the shareholders and employees! It is time we make these crooks in suits pay for their corporate and collective greed.

There should be NO bailout, tothe Financial industry nor the auto industry. This is the risk that private business takes. You can make money or loose money. That't the name of the game. Perhaps Mr. Paulson should be held more accontable along with the biggies they have already given bailout monies to. Since we are already giving money away, why not give it to the auto companies, heck, let's just give each and every company out there going under due to poor management some cash so they can keep going status quo! And with that, how about a nice fat check to each and every tax payer as well, we're all hurting as much as the businesses of this country! I say to heck with businesses, give the money to all of us hard working fools out there stil paying taxes! Money back to the people will jump start the economy faster than any business bailout.   jk

LETS TR TO REMEMBER ALL THE PEOPLE THIS WILL BENEFIT! PLUS ALL UPPER MANAGEMENT SHOULD GO WITHOUT PAY FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS SO THINGS CAN GET BEETER FOR ALL OF US. THEY  HAVE MADE PLENTY OF MONEY NOW ITS TIME FOR THEM TO PAY US BACK.

Hmmm. . .. . if GM goes under, then what happens to the guy who just bought one of their cars? Or the average Joe who is working in there factory making these cars? As far as the salaries go. . . . why is it we don't have a problem with actors making 20 million per movie, or basketball stars making a ridiculous amount for a game? Pay the salary, just get someone who is worth the money and that has the know how to save the company!
