there is only one political party in the US. The Fascist War Party. There are 2 competing wings of the party. The left wing [ Pelosi, Reid, Obama ] and a Right Wing [Bush,Boehner, Graham]
both wings have different ideas which way the party should go, but both will unite to anything that threatens their status quo

The auto industry was about to go under because it couldn't secure short-term financing or pare down its liabilities. The gubmint stepped in and provided short-term financing and established a deal to let the industry get rid of a portion of its liabilities. Now the auto industry is doing ok.
Meanwhile, we just give huge tax breaks to oil companies every year, regardless of how well they're doing. Your comparison is even stupider than the usual Paulg comparison.

I consider myself mostly liberal, but I didn't support bailing out the auto industry, nor do I support subsidies for oil companies, nor for agribusiness.
Subsidies should be used to spur innovation and development, not prop up 100+ year old businesses that can stand just fine on their own two feet.

No it wasn't. Two companies were about to go under and they would have been replaced by different companies.
The only thing that could make the auto industry go under is if people were to stop buying cars.

Change it to "US Auto Industry". Then it's pretty close to true. Thousands and thousands of people out of work. There is not even close to a guarantee that those US jobs would have come back via other auto companies.
That's without mentioning the indirect consequences, such as consumer confidence suffering even more, more unemployment $$$'s needed, less tax money coming in, etc. etc.
Even a monkey that just had shock treatment would know better than to equate it to the oil industry.

Thats because the auto industry is supported by unions that support democrats. Oil companies don't support democrats and therefore are the devil

You were the one who set up the comparison between the whole auto industry and the oil industry. When what you were really talking about was assistance given to two companies.
So I guess if you want to correct yourself you're welcome to do so. I don't see that it really has any impact on the dicussion, though.

Saving GM and Chrysler was akin to disallowing entrepreneurial innovation for the auto industry. Might as well call ourselves China and revert to a planned economy.
You know what's worse? They didn't do this for any sort of altruistic reasons. They did it because they are in the back pocket of the auto workers' unions.

I was sceptical of the wisdom of it at the time but it seems to have worked. It takes a special kind of stupid person to say "yeah, it worked, but I think they did it for bad reasons so it would be better if it had failed!"

face rolling eyes indeed....
Bankruptcy is an important part of a modern economy. Its not always blindingly obvious when a company cant pay its bills if the company should be shut down and liquidated or if it should get interim financing, restructure its liabilities and revenue opportunities and continue on.
The decision maker should be whats best for creditors of the failed company who are owed money. Can you get more by selling off its assets or can you get more by agreeing to take less and allowing the company to continue on and pay you back out of future revenues.
There was almost universal agreement that those who were owed money would get far more if GM and Chrysler continued. The only problem was the companies are very big and they were out of liquid assets....they needed relatively short term financing to make this all work. Usually a large financial industry company (or a group of them) will see value here and provide financing. The problem at that time was that most of these companies were themselves bankrupt and the rest werent sure if they were bankrupt or not (although they were all pretending they werent). So there was no bridge financing available. The government stepped in and filled in for an industry that had self destructed.
Im not sure how the bankruptcy process works in china. It does not seem correct that the govt of China regularly provides bridge financing and then quickly gets rid of its interest in the company.
