I am glad that they did not pass this. I feel that the federal government did not bail out the airline industry so why should they bail out the auto industry. If they did I feel the line of businesses would be very long as they got in line for bail out money.
I know all the auto manufactures close plants down for three weeks durning the holidays and beginning of new year as a way for their employees to spend time with their families. I am not sure if this is a paid leave or not. I am sure that some will use this time as paid vacation time. I do hope that congress and the white house do not think they are closing shop and offer them a buy out package. I think they should be allowed to fail after the CEO ran them into the ground.
