The Big Three get big subsidies but still do big layoffs

Corporate handouts ensure short-term political gain, not long-term economic growth

In recent weeks, General Motors and Stellantis have announced layoffs, while Ford has scaled back hiring plans at a forthcoming battery factory. The threat of more job losses will likely spur politicians to throw money at the companies, but taxpayers deserve to know that job losses will likely continue no matter what promises the companies and politicians make.

Taxpayer subsidies for the Big Three are all but guaranteed. In August, before the United Auto Workers strike, the Biden administration announced $15.5 billion in funding and loans to help car manufacturers redesign their factories for electric vehicle production.

  1. Stop giving these entities bail-out money….

    Let them fail – the unions have driven up labor costs and government regulations have corrupted the end product with insane requirements.

    If they can’t turn out a decent product at a reasonable price, they shouldn’t be in business!

  2. They are not the ” big 3 “.
    1) Volkswagen Group – Germany. 2) Toyota – Japan. 3) Stellantis – Netherlands. 4) Mercedes-Benz – Germany.
    5) Ford – USA. 6) G.M. – USA. 7) BMW – Germany. 8) Honda – Japan. 9) Hyundai – South Korea.
    10) SAIC Group – China.
