You're right, it should be solar powered...@ Brian,<br /><br />You're right, it should be solar powered.

Anyway, I offer the folowing to address your points.<br /><br />First, I believe it's <B>the government's strategy</B> to privatize corporate profits and socialize corporate losses. A capitalist strategy would have let GM and Chrysler fail and allowed Ford to succeed.<br /><br />Second, it seems reasonable to also include UAW workers in the list of beneficiaries of obstructive measures, calling it free market, tax breaks and earmarks. I wouldn't want execs to get all the benefits :-)<br /><br />Finally, on a positive note, one option for a better outcome would have been to use the bailout moneys for GM and Chrysler to fund a comprehensive efficient public transportation strategy. I lived several years in a country with an excellent national public transportation system and chose not to own a car during that time.Super Saverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172939501208456194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32639162.post-24273562690550907882009-05-31T19:51:28.397-04:002009-05-31T19:51:28.397-04:00Or, we could be negative and offer no positive sug...Or, we could be negative and offer no positive suggestions, continue to obstruct measures that would make car companies more competitive and more green, call it a free market as we pad the wallets of auto and oil execs, and pay for all of this with special interest tax breaks and earmarks, all-the-while pretending to be against big government.<br /><br />I know someone on TV already said this, but maybe we should have the oil companies bail out the car companies, instead of having taxpayers do it.<br /><br />Oh wait, I forgot.
