Okay, so...I'm hearing a qualified "yes" to the bailout, given certain goals, all of which are to be identified in the first year, with specific goals to be met over x period of time

1) Immediate review of compensation at all levels, including bonus and salary freezes for all top management positions and removal of "silly perks" (aka PR nightmares).
2) Measurable goals for improved mileage
3) Review of studies (you know they've got 'em) regarding quality control issues
4) Revision of marketing to address "new owners" (taxpayers)
5) Increased R&D efforts for non-petroleum fuels.

What else (besides the possibility of this ever happening?)
