How GM being given tax payer money to build and transplant it's operations to China helped anyone escapes me.
that's because you're not thinking it thru.. let's put this all the way down to level a stripper.. but wait? why would her job be affected by a bailout? Because.. she need customers to drop their $1 and buy private dances.. if the local car lot was to close or the car plant, then the mechanic who worked there would lose his job..without his work he can't pay his lawn guy now the lawn guy loses that pay.. so the law guy can't go blow his cash on a stripper and the stripper can't eat..
now, that's one person losing their job.. and it affect 3 people.. and that's just one case.. the mechanic also can't pay his wife's nail appointments anymore, so the nail girl and the shop lose another client.. too many of those and the shop closes causing a whole other ripple effect on it's own.. but we'll just stay with the mechanic.. so now his lost job has lost the lawn guy,the stripper,the nail tech and the nail salon money.. 5 lives, one job..
and we're not done because the mechanic also has to lose his housecleaner.. she will in turn have to give up her helper..to make up the difference in losing that bi-monthly income..
that's 7 people affected by a single job loss.. each of them affect their own web and that web creates chaos in any city because now we're seeing layoff not just at the GM plant or dealership, but the Wendy's and Burger King, the Publix and Books a Million.. and each and every one is multiplied exponentially..
Obama stopped that.. and that helped me.
