on one hand....I'm tired of bailing people out.  Yet on the other hand, my dad worked for GM for 35 years.  He worked as much OT as he possibly could to support my mom and us three kids.  My mother was a housewife.  My mother developed MS and her medicine is not cheap at all, but her medicine slows down the progress of her MS.  My dad retired from GM because he could no longer physically work and in 2007 he passed away.  My father busted his butt for 35 years to make sure that my mother would be taken care of by his pension and health care benefits and now my mother could very likely lose that.  She also was recently diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and has to use a cpap machine which is not cheap at all.  If my mother loses her health care benefits, not only does she lose her MS medicine but she will lose her cpap.  My mother lives by herself and is in her mid 60s.  The idea of her losing all of that and rapidly deteriorating......I just can't handle that.  I just lost my dad and I'm not ready to lose my mom.

It thoroughly ticks me off that our government has screwed up our economy so much that the automakers have bombed with sales and has caused this.  I blame the government.  If my mother loses her health care benefits and I lose her, I will be storming Washington DC with my pitch fork and torch and I will be calling out the pricks who caused this.
