Let me get this straight: The idea of the bailout is to let us buy all those great low-fuel efficiency, high-emission sport utility vehicles and dual axle pick-up trucks with crew cabs and iddy biddy beds that General Motors, Ford and Chrysler manufactured last year without having to insure, fuel, maintain, drive, park or, um "own" them. I can see lots of advantages to keeping these misbegotten monstrosities off the road. (Maybe we could use them to for artificial reefs in the Gulf of Mexico?) But rather than pumping tens (or is it hundreds) of billions of dollars into paying American automotive industry employees to keep building these, these, things; let's spend a lot less paying them not to build any more of them. We can accomplish that by devoting a fraction of the cost of an industry wide bailout towards extended unemployment benefits
