There must be so many stories about bankruptcy today in this becoming even more ridiculous economy but aren’t people fortunate that they can file for bankruptcy. I think the ‘big 3’, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler need to consider that. Hard working people, people who have worked all their lives to support their families find themselves out of a job and unable to pay their bills largely because the greed in this country not only went on unchecked for so many years but also because we the people permitted it to happen by not involving ourselves in our government. However, that said, the rich became super rich, the powerful became super powerful and influenced Congress and the powers that be with their money to do their bidding. Palms were greased in so many ways to pave the way for deregulation of the financial industry. As school funds depleted, as the healthcare system became more unavailable to the people, as our infrastructure disintegrated, as our planet became more polluted, the rich got richer. And the auto companies made bigger gas guzzling cars while they destroyed one hundred thousand electric cars! The car companies should join the ranks in filing bankruptcy!
