YOU DECIDE

House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is pushing for a bailout of the Detroit auto industry. She is quoted as saying that these three (incompetent, wasteful and disloyal-editors note) companies are "crucial" to the American economy.

Ok, you decide, as a percentage of America's labor force, the Big Three automakers account for: 0.0031% of employment- basically- nothing.

In regards to GNP, the combined sales of the Big Three account for less than 2% of America's GNP- do these numbers sound " CRUCIAL " ??? It seems more the lobbyists contributions and political backslapping are more crucial to Congress than common sense.
