Chrysler has just announced Chapter 11 bankruptcy. For those who supported the government bailout, I hope we get some back. Maybe Fiat will consider the taxpayers of America, and it will happen.

But don't hold your breath. We may be faced with yet another move in this direction, since GM is not out of the woods.

Now, do we let them go the way of "clean up your act" or give them more bailout money? I, for one, certainly hope they don't receive any additional funding.

Hooray, hooray, for Ford! They didn't request any bailout money and are weathering the economic storm on their own. So, go visit your local Ford dealer and buy your next American car from a company that is heading in the right direction with confidence.
