Car dealers descended on Washington Wednesday, upset about plans to close 3,400 General Motors and Chrysler dealerships as part of the Obama administration auto bailouts.
Dealers said it's a bad idea that will cost jobs, hurt sales, and change some communities forever.
Almost sure to close is the Arnold dealership that's sold Pontiacs and GMC trucks since 1926.
"It'll impact the community," Bob Arnold with Arnold Pontiac - GM said. "There's no question about that."

All the companies that had to lay off people because of the economy issues didn't get special considerations. The people got laid off because the companies made mistakes.
These guys shouldn't get any different treatment.

It doesn't make any sense at all. Closing thousands of dealerships means tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs, which makes the economy worse.
Without money people won't buy cars...
This is probably a scheme to either introduce some new "Al Gore" delearship type of car, so some new rich person gets the riches, or this is being done to undermine the economy even more.
the Obama administration is at least Socialist, if not worse, which means they want as many Americans as possible wanting to be dependent of the government so they can implement their SOcialist plans even more.

The fact that are you only bashing the left speaks volumes of your ignorance.
Their is no single party issue, this has to do with 2 partys that have been slowly ripping this nation to shreds over the decades.

Yes you are embracing ignorance. I don't see how anyone wouldn't think this is a good plan, I explained to you how this works out, you ignored.
Your argument thur argument that this is a bad plan failed and you still haven't tried to refute, if you have a better plan besides keeping dealerships open that don't bring in any income then i'm all ears. But historically this is how businesses stay afloat, it's commons sense man.
Try looking at the bigger picture, you seem smart enough.
