Should Congress Say No To The Big Three?

Tomorrow in Washington, D.C., the big three are set to meet for another round of cat and the mouse. 

Do you recall the last time the current CEO's of Ford, GM, and Chrysler (seen above) came to Capitol Hill to talk business,  how they flew in on a private luxury corporate jet while pleading before Congress to give them a taxpayer bailout? 

The expensive travel wasn't taken lightly by congress and as a result, all 3 CEO's weren't taken seriously. There wasn't a proposal in place stating why they needed funds or how they planned to use it if they were granted approval, it appeared they assumed all they had to do was ask for billions of dollars and it would be given to them.

The CEO's were told to come back the next day with a new attitude and a proposal, to which they decided that their travel to Capitol Hill tomorrow should entail using a hybrid vehicle, and the CEO's plan to propose cutting their own salaries to one dollar in exchange for 34 billion in taxpayer dollars. 

Isn't it interesting how the CEO's plan to cut their salaries when originally they fought to keep their million dollar packages, and the huge bonuses that came along with it? 

These same men that rode in on a private jet, now all of a sudden are willing to work for one dollar? If they're willing to work for one dollar why not just work for free? Will the proposed 34 billion dollar bailout be used to offset the CEO's salaries? And when giving that much taxpayer money can we trust the CEO's to have the best interest of the worker's at heart?
