I don't see anything in there asking for a bailout.

I'm just trying to be compassionate. Toyota may lose money...shouldn't we all help them?

I don't think it's a matter of them asking as much as a matter of they are just as entitled as any others. If we are going to give handouts to one then why not the others. Fair is fair.

And on a scale of 0 to 100 on their entitlement..., 0, just like the others.

If they get a bailout, it will come from Japan not us.
Then once they get it, Honda will be next in line.
Hooray, mighty non union auto companies.

Japan will probably bail them out, because it's in their national interest.

If you guys think an operating loss automatically means they need a bailout you really don't know **** about business. Businesses post losses all the time and guess what, have since the beginning of time.

I wasn't referring to you, Doc. I detected your sarcasm. I think it went over the heads of a couple of others.
