The auto industry has the hands [no... make that their biggest trucks] our asking for money to stay alive. Save us from our own incompetence. I may be overly cynical, but why should we be pouring $billions in so-called loans without any firm repayment plans? Try that with your local bank!
Why should we be pouring $billions into an industry that has fought hard to avoid requirements to increase gas mileage?
engadget has this article on $25billion for electric vehicles, that is tied up on red tape... I wonder how much of the red tape is because of the abuses of the auto industry in the past & government is paranoid about current / future abuse?
Just some thoughts on a messy situation.

Too much government; take a pay cut and sit down for a bit.
