What's Wrong With Bankrupt?

What is so wrong with a major corporation going bankrupt? I thought that was the method created by our government already to keep corporations and citizens from totally drowning in their debt. It provides a chance to restructure and come back better than before. These auto companies especially need to declare bankruptcy if they are at that point, but part of me says they are jumping the gun out of greed. Once somebody else gets their hands in the free money, everyone else comes running for a handout. There is no shame with people anymore! Even if bankruptcy didn't work, who cares. Are you trying to tell me that somebody else wouldn't buy these companies and make them work? Businesses are bought and sold all the time. These companies could stand to benefit from this. They could finally rid themselves of the greedy scum, known as unions. Unions had their day of worth, but that has long since past. They pride themselves in forcing pay and benefits that are beyond reasonable and eventually lead to the destruction of the company they work for. I have a feeling they are the ones behind forcing this shameless begging so they can stay alive. Toyota pays their employees approximately 2/3 of what the big three pay their employees. I wonder if that is a sign of a bad business model (it's sarcasm in case you couldn't tell). They do the same job for cheaper. It makes since to me. If they don't try on their own first through bankruptcy, then they deserve to fail, and the unions can be thrown into the streets. Maybe then they will wake up when they see that most people work for a fair wage. It's called honesty and integrity. Congress, wake up! Americans are sick of the bailouts!

Freedom

It may seem like a lame comparison but hear me out. I was watching Star Wars Episode III last night and at one point it was said "This is how freedom dies; with cheers and applause". I thought it was rather appropriate for what we are experiencing today. As of yet we do not know what will happen, but I fear the worst; the worst being BARACK OBAMA! The worst part is that we are seeing the same thing; freedom dying with cheers and applause. They are embracing socialism and bigger, more powerful government. I pray the Lord will have pricked the hearts of the people today and McCain will pull this off and we can begin to rebuild conservative values in this country. McCain is nowhere near there, but he can at least help prevent the quicker embrace of evil.
