Fought the government on MPG mandates. Got Bush and
the GOP to get tax breaks for businesses that purchase
Hummers (but not hybrids). AND didn't learn anything
from the hard lessons in the 70's and 80's. Producing
16 MPG SUV's as a status symbol versus logical and
responsible compacts and subcompacts. So the government
needs to bailout all businesses that are fueled by
greed, mass consumption, and steered by stuborn incompetancy?
Can the government bailout the makers of cassette tapes?
How about makers of coal locomotives and tube televisions?
Maybe they, I mean WE (since we are the government), maybe
WE can finance the Backstreet Boys, and anything else that
FAILS TO EVOLVE AND ADAPT TO SUCCEED AS A BUSINESS.
Tell GM to start making mass transit vehicles, trolleys,
and light rail systems along with hybrids, THEN they can
stay in business. Otherwise they can go the way of acid
washed jeans. Detroit killed mass transit, drove the increase
in our highway system, created urban sprawl, fought saftey
and MPG increases, and now they're whinning that they've
become the archaic dinosaur that must die (or evolve).
At some point the junkie needs to aknowledge the habit, make
the decision to change their actions, and accept
responsibility.
