"Carma" is a bitch!

"I had a random thought about the auto industry bailout being discussed. What if instead of bailing out the industry, the U.S. government decided to replace not only its entire fleet of roughly 400,000 cars, but also fund the replacement of most state and local government cars -- and gave the contract to U.S. automakers?"

I like the idea, but better yet why not invest in companies that really are innovating in the auto market, like Tesla Motors! Help them and other innovative companies working on electric cars scale up their efforts. The "Big Three" have too long stifled innovation, maybe it is time to let them die with their beloved internal combustion engine, and allow someone else take the lead.
