More on --- No Bailout

If the US Big Three go out of business -- what's going to happen to NASCAR?

Who is going to sponsor all the football, baseball, basketball games on TV? I don't think the beer companies can pick up all the slack .

How about the Bass Pro Tour? I'm sure truck makers pump some money into that sport.

Just think, no more Silverado, F150, Ram -- much less choice in both cars and trucks.

Will Honda, Toyota, Nissan, get fat and happy -- the way GM, Ford, and Chrysler did in their heyday?

How about all those folks who make parts for everyone -- will they stay in business if they lose such a huge amount of their volume? Let's say a large number of parts makers go bust -- who will supply all the parts for Toyota, Honda, etc.? Will those parts be of the same quality?

You know, of course, the same folks who now yell, "let 'em burn" -- will start the "remember those wonderful Chevys" craze in 2014 -- they will also lead the "Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Kia, etc., are all crap" movement.

At the same time, our out of office Republicans will blame the Democrats when it becomes clear we can't make enough guns, trucks, tanks, planes, APC's, etc. for the next big war someone starts - if only to get the world out of "The Worldwide Depression" (TM).

Does that mean we will be one of those invaded third world countries where the "brave partisans" fight on with outmoded weapons (like sticks and stones)?

(of course, we can't use the word "Partisan" -- smacks too much of Reds, Socialists, Communists. Will our "freedom fighters" - can't call them "terrorists" - be "Militias" - thus continuing the right wing theme?)

Don't you think those Southern Republicans did not think this through?
