We'd be making just as many cars today and the companies would be far better suited to succeed.

- Sink the auto sector and all its downline part suppliers and all their employees
- Sink all the banks and their employees
- Sink all local businesses in towns anchored by sunken banks/auto employers.
- Cut federal government employee workforce by 20%
- Then cut food stamps and unemployment for all those unemployed people.
- Give a blank check to Haliburton to continue rebuilding Baghdad and Afghanistan ...and ignore AMerica.
I love sour grapes.
Your prescription would have put unemployment near 20%...which begs the question ....who would be in the market to buy cars?
Maybe thats why even W didn't sink those companies....and even Mitt had to change his mind too.
