#1 "Irresponsible" to whom? To Pelosi possibly, but not to me.

#2 OK ; Give ( give ) the Ailing auto facilities to the UAW, let them be their own new masters.

#3 Considering how much the Union pension funds had/have accumulated, you'd think they'd have significant controlling interesting in their own companies - if they believed them to be 'profitable'. Wonder why they never did that? /rhetorical question. The union bitches about management exploiting them, only to turn around and attempt to exploit other workers/taxpayers. You are not entitled to be kept in the manner you have become accustomed to when the source of income [the market] disappears.

#4 Part of the bailout, should the Unions not accept the work rule changes, should require the UAW to invest in the Big 3 to back up the loans.

No bailouts without the beneficiaries assuming responsibility for the outcome since they will not accept their part in climbing out the mess.
