Gov't wants to bail out the big three.

[rgG]

Somebody bought all those big gas guzzlers that the big 3 put out. If the American populace had not bought the trucks and SUVs, the big 3 would have been forced long ago to start producing smaller more fuel efficient vehicles, but the masses wanted bigger and bigger and that is what they got.

They produce a high mileage car for Europe because Europeans have been paying high gas prices for years and that is the car they will buy. When gas was cheap, how many people bought a Prius? Only when the masses have been forced to pay something similar to Europe's price for gas did fuel efficiency become important.

Waste, greed and excess by the vast majority of America is responsible for this mess we are in. Fault can be attributed to the CEOs and law makers on down to the general populace. Most are liable and all will suffer.
