NEW YORK—General Motors, once a symbol of America’s industrial might, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on Monday. Now, the humbled giant has been taken under the wing of the Federal Government with nearly $50 billion in bailout money. The Epoch Times went out to find if the American Government should keep helping out GM?

“It’s hard because I have family in Michigan, on the other hand we can’t keep bailing companies out, when do we draw the line?”
Jonathan Golden, 26, Brooklyn, Paralegal
“Not a simple answer. It’s an extremely complex situation but I don’t want to find out the consequences for not bailing them out.”
Andrew Schwertfeger, 26, Brooklyn, Film Producer
“I don’t think it’s as cut and dry an answer as that. It’s not a yes or no question. It is much more complex.”
Garrett Banton, 29, Manhattan, Actor
“I don’t think we should leave them behind. It’s part of what capitalism is about and, anyway, what’s the alternative if we don’t bail them out.”
