Let The Big Three DieSullivan is not one of the 3 million people who would be without a job.. nor a retiree that would lose their pension that they worked (in some cases) a lifetime to earn. He doesn't own one of the related businesses that would be out of business as a result, destroying hopes and dreams in the process.
The point of capitalism is that actions have consequences. Once that market discipline is removed for a few of the worst, ill-managed, union-crippled companies in America, the stage is set for endless mediocrity, government-run industry (i.e. even more endless mediocrity), and a free-for-all at the government trough. A clear majority of Americans agree, in the new WaPo poll. If this intensifies the recession, so be it. Recessions are sometimes necessary for long-term economic health. And the bigger and sharper it is now the more time Obama has to recover from it. Let them die. - Andrew Sullivan
He does not have any kids that would be adversely affected by a parent losing a job in a time of very bad job opportunities.
I also do not recall assholes like Sullivan being terribly upset by the $750 billion given away to the banks. Wouldn't we also want the American banking system to collapse while we allow the largest manufacturing companies fail?
Wouldn't it just be better to let the entire economy collapse, currency become meaningless, and then start over from scratch?
