Just a quick thought...National security is kinda' important.
Energy independence is kinda' important.
Greenhouse gas emission control is kinda' important.
Capitalism is kinda' important for Americans who still believe in this whole 'America' concept.
Why not combine all of the above and double whatever bailout package the automakers are asking for on the contingent basis that they put on the road an affordable plug-in hybrid capable of getting 60+ miles on electric alone by 2010? If they fail, we liquidate them...which leaves them in the same position they'd be in a month from now if we did nothing.
That way there's still no such thing as a free lunch in America, aspiring socialists notwithstanding, and we can still move forward on a few of the things Americans actually wanted out of B. Hussein Obama.
