Your argument makes no sense at all. I can only try to find a logical beginning to it.
You believe bankruptcy will lead to a sale to a Saudi or Chinese company. Do you really think that with 300 million households in the US that there’s not a market for a domestic automaker? Do you really think that bankruptcy would lead all domestic investors to say, “aww, screw em.” Didn’t Chrysler just get bought back from the Germans by Cerberus after a failed foreign merger? Isn’t Tesla turning heads with their all-electric cars? There are investors who are chomping at the bit for the Big Three to go bankrupt so they can buy them up - without the UAW contracts - and make them better car companies.
When you brought up Cheney I almost stopped readng. Oh! He's so evil! Oh! He's the Great Satan! Oh! He can single-handedly control the world! Please. Cheney is arguably the most powerful Vice-President in US history, but that does not make him the scapegoat for all that is wrong with the county. If Bush-Cheney had any real power left, wouldn’t McCain-Palin have won?
Who are you going to blame after January 20?
And one other comment to your non-sensical rant: yes - sell NASA to a hedge fund. Privatize space exploration. The government shouldn’t be in the business of bailing out private enterprise any more than it should be supporting NASA, Amtrak, the airlines or the freight railroads!
