Should we bail them out? We bailed out some of the banks, Fannie, Freddie, et al. Is the automakers sin that they were stupider longer?

One day we will realize that the real problem is the tax code. We should have a national sales tax, voted on every four years if change wanted, and make congress do what we have to do, live within a budget. What would politicians do if they didn't have raise / lower taxes to talk about?

Congress and the tax code is like giving a six year old your credit card and sending them into Toys R' Us, hoping they will be fiscally responsible.
