Just a quick thought, i haven't down any number crunching or such, but maybe the US Feds should add their own discount on cars for the big 3. Instead of giving them money, have a one year Fed sponsored discount on cars. Everyone might be able to afford a new car or a fresh trade in. Keeping everyone employed including financing companies and the new car would need service down the road so it wouldn't be a one time thing.

Off the OP's topic but, the cities of Philadelphia, Phoenix and Atlanta have joined the bailout barrage. They want money because less mortgages means less taxes.
