Thiniking back over the pages...While I disagreed with the bailout personally, I recognized the need to keep the factories operating and the workers employed. Kap pointed out that production was way ahead of demand and faced workforce reductions regardless of any bailout.
Now let's just say that Detroit put on their thinking caps and came up with a product that none of us could live without.
Way back at the beginning of this I brought up the Japanese Kei Trucks. Little mini vehicles that can do a lot of amazing things without burning much fuel. Everyone who needs a full sized vehicle for long trips or hauling or just because they like full sized vehicles also needs one of these parked beside it for commuting and trips to the store. Am I wrong? Is it impossible for America to drive smaller vehicles? Even part of the time?

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
