		<description>Someone on YouTube is promoting a Global campaign against the auto industry. Their presumption is if the public stops buying or leasing New gas only cars, the auto industry will have no other choice than to abandon that production and concentrate on the production of EV’s and Fuel cell cars.
--------------------------------------
I couldn&#039;t agree more with this kind of approach.   We citizens have more power in this whole process than we appeciate --- our power is called &quot;we refuse to buy&quot;.. 
GM has plenty of engineers being squandered on plenty of gas-car projects.  By not purchasing any more gas powered vehicles, they will have no choice but to consolidate all of their engineers into accelerating the release of the Volt --- either that or go bankrupt.</description>

		<description>GM must dig its own way out.  They&#039;ve set the stage for 14.00/hr wages; promised innovative products ;cut help; outsourced and gone foreign- America has caved in to their terms.
If they can&#039;t make it , would pouring cash fix the leadership and corporate culture that got it to this point?
Or would a bailout throw vast amounts of cash at the high end to be devoured  and split up for the &quot;Leadership&quot; as
a parting gift from the Bush Administration?

P.S. - I&#039;ve tried to buy a new truck.
 Between a  pricing structure that introduces more and more incentives and delivers a similar price each time and dealer networks operating on 1960&#039;s sales principles and ethics, It just isn&#039;t happening folks.

If I went broke because of my own stupidity, who would bail me out?</description>

		<description>First of all, Ron Paul is a looser, get over it. He is out of the game now.
Second some people think they have all the answers, and often find in time that they were wrong.

The people in this country don&#039;t want and won&#039; turn down their thermostats like you loosers want tol.
This country is as great as it ever was, yah their are some problems and they are serious.

So anyone that don&#039;t want to do the things that will bring about change to the positive and would rather go to Ron Pauls demonstration I say go. Have a blast, let the rest of us get things working in a direction that is good, maby theire is a better way but it isn&#039;t here and fucntional now.

I am so sad that there are so many whiners wasteing good time.
Lets go in a direction that will help some of the thing needed and keep our eyes open to see what else becomes possible.

Or you could just go to Wisconsin and get some cheese to go with it.</description>

I wish Lowell Foster would listen to what Ron Paul has to say about  the Federal Reserve,  the new Socialism, and a sound dollar.

		<description>Just wanted to say nothing wrong with a loan. It will be paid back with intrest and everyone will bennifit.
GM has for many years been a major employer in the USA.
We must change the technology.
Right now we are using the same technology that we have used for one hundered years.
Lets work together on this and make it happen. The result will be positive.</description>

		<description>What does GM deserve?

They were the primary force behind CAFE loopholes for SUVs which made them artificially attractive, and then the primary force behind keeping their loopholes in operation for as long as possible - in the process making our Middle Eastern &#039;friends&#039; richer and richer - and giving them so much power that even after they provided most of the people and money for 9/11, we still don&#039;t dare even hint at pressuring the Saudis to clean up their act.

What does GM deserve now? How about treason charges, especially after they didn&#039;t change course after 9/11? Well, seems unlikely, but they at a bare minimum deserve nothing more than corporate death.</description>

		<description>149.  Dave G.

I don&#039;t think the oil companies have the supply to be doing things like they did in the 90s and making gasoline $2 a gallon or whatever it was.  

The problem is with India and China.  They are like America was in the 1950s.  Everyone wants to get a new family car and drive around the country to see the great outdoors, etc.  People in India with low incomes will be able to buy these super cheap Tata Nano cars that cost about $4,000.  

There might be some MAJOR gas guzzling happening in China and India in the next 10 years.  Since the price of oil is global, we will pay more and more at the pump as China and India consume more and more gasoline.  We all feed at the same oil trough.  

That&#039;s why we need to get off the &quot;oil train&quot; and hop on the &quot;electricity train&quot; so we can drive for the equivalent of $1 a gallon again.  That&#039;s what it&#039;ll cost with the new E-REVs like the Volt and other electric cars.  Hopefully, with a big battery breakthrough, they&#039;ll have pure electrics with decent range for the China and India markets.  I can visualize a LOT of lithium ion powered scooters and electric motorcycles in India and China.  

That will be the death rattle for Big Oil and OPEC.  They won&#039;t be able to get the developing countries addicted to oil like &quot;Big Tobacco&quot; has with their cigarettes.  As Americans quit smoking, Big Tobacco started advertising heavily in developing countries in Asia and other places.  They needed whole new markets of nicotine addicts to keep their profit party going.  It&#039;s Big Tobacco&#039;s FINANCIAL health that matters you know.</description>
