As for the bond/share holders they made an investment and investments have risks....they shouldn't be getting any of their money back before the American tax payers. I am and have always been against all of these bailouts. Just think, if we had let them go bankrupt in the first place they'd already be restructured and we wouldn't have as much debt as we do now. Our children, their children and their childrens' children are going to be responsible for repaying those debts not us. I am not happy about someone putting that kind of debt on my 9 month old son. Especially when I had no say in it.

I see this as a problem also. Except I see it from a different position. Try to raise a family on $12 ~ $15 an hour. It's not necessarily that the US worker is OVERPAID, in my opinion, the foreign car worker is underpaid!
It's called a livable wage.
