Extinct for a Reason.

The bailout plan is in the forefront of many American's minds. Giant companies, that have been around forever, are falling.

I say let them.

In biology we are learning about cloning. Scientists are thrilled because through this new breakthrough they might be able to help out endangered species. Species that are unable to adapt to their new enviornment.

These companies are falling for a reason. They can't make changes to keep up with the times. Like cutting back on their CEO's salary.
So now what? Tax payers have to carry their burden?

The main argument is we need them to keep the economy going. With out them our nation might collapse. I think we aren't giving the other companies enough credit. They can take over. People can take their business elsewhere. It happens all the time. New giants can be created.

The enviornemt has changed. Those we can't keep up will fail. Pouring money into them in a last ditch effort is useless.
