  • General Motors, Chrysler, and Obama's Bailout Program

    1618 Words  | 4 Pages

    In 2009, the Obama Administration bailed out the General Motors and Chrysler automobile companies. Having begun their decent into bankruptcy in 2008, losing thousands of jobs, sales plummeting forty percent, with a high threat of liquidation, General Motors and Chrysler finally reached government-assisted chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009. Obama allocated eighty five billion dollars in TARP funds to the auto industry, close to fifty billion dollars of it going to General Motors. The allocated funds were successful in keeping two of the Big Three auto companies afloat, keeping taxes from sky rocketing and saving millions of jobs.

  • The Economy’s Auto Bailout

    1087 Words  | 3 Pages

    Two major car companies, General Motors (GM) and Chrysler, went bankrupt during the Great Recession. The Government had to make a choice; to get involved with helping them, which would help the economy, or let them fight for themselves. Both choices would leave some American citizens mad at the government. The Government decided to help them by establishing the Auto Bailout along with other programs like TARP. Although some think the Auto Bailout didn’t help small supplier companies, it was the right move for the government to take because it helped stop our economy from going further into a depression.

  • The Government Bailout Saved the Automobile Industry

    2492 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the latter part of 2008, the United States’ economy was rapidly plummeting - the stock market crashed, the housing bubble burst and gas prices skyrocketed. The majority of U.S. based firms faced the reality that they would not be able to survive during such desperate economic times. The U.S. automobile industry, in particular, began to buckle under the depressed economy. The government stepped in proposing a multi-billion dollar bailout to stimulate the economy and restore economic balance. The possibility of this unprecedented government intervention was condemned by many economists. If the government helped the ailing automotive industry, this industry would have to tighten their expenditures and plan for the future to prove to critics of the bailout that they would use the government funding to add value to the economy once again.

  • The Downfall of the U.S. Auto Market and the Collapse of the Economy

    2234 Words  | 5 Pages

    Unemployment is rising and the entire global economy is falling. The story has become all too common. If there is a negative direction available to follow, we're definitely taking advantage of the opportunity. Americans became too accustomed to the period of inflation through the 1990s, and the ongoing recession is affecting most everyone. The Big Three automakers (GM, Ford and Chrysler) have made massive cuts to their workforces, and the entire national job market has been upended. My personal life has been greatly distorted due to these events, after Delphi (contracted by GM) outsourced most of their jobs and shut down 21 of their 29 plants in the US. In previous years, anyone would be capable of earning a comfortable wage by working for GM right out of high school. Now that these jobs have disappeared, union wages are no longer available. Unemployed individuals are desperate and working for minimum wage, and are therefore required to drastically change their standards of living. My dad is working seventy hours a week, and we're still barely able to pay rent. The so-called “American dream” has been transformed for many. It was once a goal to obtain what you need to be happy, but it is now just being able to manage to find a job capable of supporting your family. The downfall of the American economy could be accredited to many crises facing our country, such as the subprime mortgage crisis. A few years ago, we experienced an energy crisis in which oil prices soared, and this directly led to the current automotive industry crisis. One could argue that the automotive crisis and the downfall of the Big Three automakers has been solely responsible for bringing our...

  • Bank Failure In Jamaica Case Study

    The bank failure in Jamaica illustrates how negative mindsets and behaviors can devastate the financial system and disrupt economic growth. The primary role of any bank is to safeguard its customer’s money, offer interest rate on deposits, lend money to creditworthy individuals, and make sound investment decisions to maximize shareholder value. Because of rapid economic growth between the late 1980s and early 1990s in Jamaica, the Central National Bank (CNB) and Worker’s Savings and Loans Bank (WSLB) loosened their monetary policies, provided preferential interest rates and extended credit beyond what was reasonable to members of its own board of directors, managing directors, and officers of the bank. These actions posed significant risks to the bank and its future.
