| Mr |
| US capitalism!
I like US capitalism. Profits are capitalist losses goes to government social. First the car companies make huge profits on outdated technology and take home all the profits. Then they ask for government bailouts from taxpayers money to develop new technology. In a recission those who made money should be now heavily taxed to pay to clear the mess. In Hinduism they say that wisdom comes from East where the sun rises. We in NA have to look at east to change our wasteful and environmentally destructive life style. We have too look at our ansestors the Europeans how they manage the energy problem and environment. We now live in a moderen society the 19th or early 20th century capitalist thinking has to change. During a depression government spending has to increase to bring about money in the market and spurn spending. In the last 8 yrs of tax concessions, rebates, relieves and paybacks no one invested in the economy so who thinks that a capitalist will invest in a depression? The fate of the US car manufacturers is same as the textile mills situation in India in the 70s & 80s. Those textile mills who for short term gains did not invest and modernize did a painful death with millions of trextile workers unemployed. Same with US car manufacturers for short term gains in the last 20 yrs they did not make any capital investment so the production plants are now oudated and will cost billions of dollars to re-tool them. Those who plucked the profits then should be now heavily taxed to pay for their greedy mistakes. |

| Bailout to Big 3. Yes bailout is necessary but my tax dollars should not go to save some ones pesion or free health benefits. A big chunk of selling price goes to pay pensions & retirees health benefits. I have worked in three continents and no where I have seen companies pay pension & health benefits to it's retirees. A company is not a government that can raise taxes to pay pension. I work for tier two company and will have to live off my savings and government health benefits for senior citizens. Once you retire you should be out of the company's books. Also why should a worker in India or some other country contribute to the company's profits to pay pension and retirees health benefits in North America. Also US CEOs are the highest paid in the world with the worst managed companies right from Enron to the Wal Street bust to the Big 3. There should be a bail out but my tax dollars should not go to save some ones pension or heath benefits and there should be a cap on the salaries of CEOs and top management across the board. How many billions of the bailout to Wall Street went to pay the outstanding bonuses is a question to be answered by the Mr Bush & the congress? |

| The US and Europe can not let the Auto Companies die, How soon we forget if GM,Chrysler and Ford built almost overnight all the weapons,trucks,tanks, ammunition and jeeps to win WWII. If it wasn"t for the Big 3 the world would be speaking German and Japanese. |

| Invention of Mini Van turns 25, not really |
| WWj has an article about the mini van invention turning 25. That is incorrect. VW had the first mini van, followed up by the Chevy Corvair van back in the 60's. I recall that Ford had one too. You are right however that for Chrysler it is the 25th anniversary of their mini van. By the way, the Europeans have had them much longer too. |

| Who is better President for USA |
| Any person who promises to bring back the car industry to life is better. Obama with his education and age is better for USA as he is futuristic. US needs some one young & dynamic and a old person to lead the country in the 21st century. Production of capital goods should be brought back to US. The base of free trade and globalisation was that consumer labour intensive goods should be made in countries with low labour cost & high value capital goods to be made in the industrial countries. But when low labour countries start manufacturing capital goods throws every thing out of gear and the industrial countries have nothing to make. Obama promises to bring back the car industry back to US and he has more sense of the current economy than John McCain whi is still living in a fools paradise thinking every thing is fine. Also the US life style needs a structural change and get used to a gasoline price around $3 a gallon. Europe has been living with cost around $8 since years so they have more energy effecient cars and homes. US has to go back to smaller cars. |

| tax the oil companies |
| The prices of oil have gone up in speculation. Price of a barrell $70-$75 US is acceptable anything over that is speculation. Thanks to Bush & his Dick both are mkeing a killing at cosumer's expence. Oil companies should be taxed 100% for any barrel price over $75 and that money invested by the government to improve fuel efficiency and develop alternatives to oil. We all have had enough of 8 yrs of Bush and republican policies we need a democratic change or we can ring the bell for US Dooms-Day. From a rich country to a country living off borrowing from other countries. |
