Vroom

Should we bail out the big 3? Quid pro quo, says I. They want help? Well they can't have it if they continue to do what they have been. Did you know that car manufacturers actually lose money by making SUVs? Even when they are selling. So why do they make them? Their answer is that the American people want them; that the fuel-efficient cars they offered weren't selling. I say out of sight, out of mind. Don't offer them and no one will buy them. The government should help the auto industry by:
  1. Not allowing auto makers to send their factories overseas. That closes down our factories and loses our jobs. This should just be obvious.
  2. Offering help to those car companies which move from huge gas guzzlers to smaller, fuel-efficient cars. This will mean a new direction for factories---existing factories that will need to be refitted which will generate jobs. And since the rest of the world has higher admission standards than we do, we will actually be able to sell our cars in other countries.

It's a mere 2 steps to create jobs, help our economy and save the enviroment.

It's just common sense.
