The much anticipated automobile bailout hearing started a few hours ago.  There is a tremendous amount at stake, from every angle.  The Chairmen of the Big 3 are here to testify.  The UAW is here to testify. 

We have heard for weeks that the future of an industry, thousands of jobs are at stake and billions of dollars are at stake.  Everyone has an opinion.  The major question at this juncture seems to be what happens if nothing happens?  What if it does? What happens to the workforce? This begs even more important questions…

Where are the leaders of Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and the other automakers who may or may not fill the market void?  Why is no one asking them what will happen?  Why are they not testifying? Have they even been asked?

What message does this send? Stay tuned…
