Loans, maybe. Obama is going to win. Obama will do a lot of good things. But handing blank checks to poorly managed corporations, who have squandered BILLIONS in profits over the last 30 years is like handing out guns to chimps. The ONLY subsidy that might be justifyable is for worker's wages, to keep factory jobs here. Obama would be wise to let this issue sort itself out. Good management and investment will save Detroit. Not a handout. DrFill The domestics don’t deserve any handouts. Loans, maybe.

Unlike the real estate industry, automakers are not destroying every last bit of available land for an overbuilt dumping ground for imported made in China crap and actually do create some jobs here in the US.

Whether you think Obama's plan is a good idea or not, whether you believe that he'll come through on his promises or not, the bottom line is that McCain is giving no one remotely affiliated with UAW or the auto industry a reason to vote for him. Obama's plan: billions to the industry to keep them afloat. McCain's plan: a tax credit and a prize for the company that develops battery technology that would likely get developed anyway in the free market. You can see how political everything now is.

Oil will recede(just like houses) to $90/barrel by this time next year gas will steady at $3.45 Gal.
