Lets take the trillions of dollars dedicated to a bail out and divide it up amongst every citizen and put it on a prepaid visa card and say 'spend it in 30 days, or your going to loose it'.. That is an economic bailout...The thing is this.. if we do that, its looked at as socialism.

I say let GM fail, OR give huge stipulations that any balout money has to go to the development of alternative energy vehicles.. THIS is the time to do it. But to bail them out so they can make more gas hog SUV's is insane.

holy crap, we agree AGAIN! This Obama thing is really working!

the fuel efficiency has been dismal for decades

quality?? i remember going to look at the engine
of a brand new ford truck several years ago and upon inspection i quickly saw some air filter thing up front and realized it was nothing more than a painted coffee can ....and one minute later -i walked away.

why is it that Americans are rebuilding their own cars and trucks themselves turning them into electric vehicles
at a personal cost of $8000.00 dollars if the Auto makers are investing Billions.... in what????
fancy shmancy showrooms !!! certainly not in
the heavier SUV's ....not in carbon nano tube technology which is ultimately lighter and ten times stronger than steel !!!! or electric vehicles....christ
they are not hardly even on the market yet really?
