After reading therealmafoo's opinion, i believe i understand what i want to say.

These programs undeniably get more sales than the company would ever have gotten normally- but this probably takes away income from future months and is only a temporary solution. We're at the point where we do not need 10 different car companies in the United States; cars are abundant as is. Same with whatever electrical appliance giveaway comes next- manufacturing can literally be done by a dozen people and their machines.

what the government seems to be doing is protecting those jobs for as long as possible, but eventually everything will have to fail. it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation right now. If the government stops bailouts, hundreds of thousands if not millions of people would lose their jobs instantly. If the government continues on with these programs, their spending is deemed wasteful.

The only real way to solve this problem is to decrease the surplus population.

Cash for killing anyone?
