At least give it to a company with some promise...Tesla or something...

I'd give the money to Gordon Murray

I'm serious.

I'd give the money to the tax paying people that are going to front it.

While this sounds good on paper there is a huge percentage of people that are too fucking stupid to handle a lump sum of money in this situation. We are fucked, there will be a depression and we aren't going to buy our way out of it. This shit is making it worse..

With where the money is going and the way the economy is going, Death Race 2012 anyone?

Um, you might want to do a little research on Tesla first. Think quality control on par with a Fiat X1/9 or Yugo.

this is somewhat true, we are not going into a depression. deppression requires two full consecutive quarters of negative growth. and we are going to buy our way out of this, but not by bailing out auto companies, regardless of which one. what we need are massive public works projects to pump money into the middle class, create jobs, and thereby stimulate the economy

Well that is the plan... Optimist vs pessimist :)

Herbert Hoover agrees.

i'm in.




and yeah, we will go into a depression... probably not in the next quarter or maybe even the following one, but it will happen. soon, everyone will stop paying their bills and begins to adversely occupy these foreclosing properties, IE drive the lenders into bankruptcy and just keep all this materialistic shit that we've been surrounding ourselves with, claim it as our right, then just take it from there, ...anyone else like how ironic both the movies Idiocracy and WALL-E were?

i want a disposable, chinese quality t-shirt that will only handle a half dozen washes before it falls apart with a hugh "Buy-N-Large" logo on it.

Explain please. After a comment like that, at least back it up. I respect your opinion, however wrong it may be. I expect the same in return.
