Here’s my proposal:

Government picks up x percent of all new car purchases,

where x = 5 * (CombinedMPG – 30), maybe up to 33 percent.

Adjust the 5, 30, and 33 to your taste.

Save the car industry, the planet, the country, and money, all at the same time. How often can you get a deal that good?

If GM fails, this will create a chain reaction and we can say good-bye recession and hello depression!

WSJ now: “The top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives assailed plans Thursday for emergency aid to auto makers as “neither fair to taxpayers nor sound fiscal policy,” raising new doubts about Democrats’ ability to pass a rescue package.”

All four of your points make too much sense for any of them to be adopted. Come on, now. To get things adopted you have to get some real “hair-brained” ideas thrown out there. Stop it with these suggestions that actually make sense. You keep putting forth these kinds of ideas, we gonna stop reading yours. haha
