&quot;Gov Motors CEO: “Well.. I suppose there is that rickshaw design those new grads from Berkely have been working on”

You know, you are on to something there...those rickshaw drivers have &quot;the cleanest tailpipe emissions with next to no CO2 output&quot;.  Yep and  only a smidgen of methane...  LOL</description>

Obama:  &quot;we need a car, ..a car that is for all to enjoy..  a &#039;Peoples&#039; Car..&quot;
Gov Motors CEO:  &quot;You mean a small car sir?&quot;
Obama: &quot;I mean a car that even those who receive their pay in bonuses can afford&quot;
Gov Motors CEO:  &quot;That might be a small car sir&quot;
Obama: &quot;Of course it is a small car, one that gets 100 miles per gallon..&quot;
Gov Motors CEO:  &quot;Umm I&#039;m not sure..&quot;
Obama: &quot;One that has the cleanest tailpipe emissions with next to no CO2 output&quot;
Gov Motors CEO:  &quot;Well..  umm its not really..umm&quot;
Obama: &quot;One that we can sell for under $1000&quot;
Gov Motors CEO:  &quot;But the shareholders expect a prof...&quot;
Obama: &quot;C&#039;mon now I want to hear a &#039;Yes we can&#039; from you&quot;

		<description>Car prices may fluctuate for a while but ultimately MUST follow inflation.  Which will not help the car companies at all.  The trouble these car companies have seen is not over until government stops mandates rolls back CAFE, and/or Emission standards.  Further, because the money makers were ALWAYS the big cars for the domestics, carbon caps are simply a knife in the back by way of increasing fuel costs.  We are indeed screwed, and this guy is &quot;The One we have been waiting for&quot; to bend us over.</description>

		<description>Obama just gave GM another 30 billion dollars on top of Canada&#039;s 20 billions.  Obama always makes headlines, to cover up for doing the opposite. 
If the federal government felt it was their duty to bail-out GM then they should 

have given vouchers to Americans to buy the cars. People could sell their vouchers to other people, and then buying cars could have kept them going, plus put at least some money back in America&#039;s pockets. I really don&#039;t understand all this mess. 
Anyone know if car prices will down, or up over this. It&#039;s so confusing to me.</description>

Does George W. finally regret trying to reach across the isle to this slithering pit of snakes?</description>

		<description>Advice from proreason:

1.  Replace your vehicles with Hondas or Toyotas as quickly as possible.   They can last up to 30 years if well-maintined, and all classes get good mileage.

2. Stick to the maintenance schedule.

3. Learn how to drive efficiently.  Many web-sites describe how.  Most people can improve gas mileage by 5 to 10% with better habits, and the habits are easy to learn.

4. Over time, reduce your driving by combining trips and finding closer service establishments.  Plan trips to work to handle simple errands as well.  Begin to think about the cost of the trip when you consider the cost of what you are driving to do.   You might be able to reduce driving mileage a surprising amount.

Because the costs of driving are going to increase faster than any other component of your spending.

In 10 years, it could cost 3 times as much (or more) as it costs today to drive.

And the cause of it all is your trusty government.</description>

		<description>My husband and I were talking today about this car thing.

GM and Chrysler were going to fail anyway....for whatever reason, (albeit without all our tax dollars) but since watching the banks and the car industry grab all that loot only to then find all the stings (chains really) that were attached, we haven&#039;t found too many more &quot;too big to fail&quot; companies running to the pig trough lately.

Could be wrong but it looks like most of the big companies are learning by Obalmy&#039;s power grab.  Does anyone else know of a line forming for more &quot;gimme&quot; companies?   If so I&#039;l like to know who they are (won&#039;t buy from them).

Another little detail I heard today was the difference between the Ch 11 and Ch 7.   Ch 11 allowed Obalmy to keep the union in the mix.  Ch 7 would have killed the connection!  That by my reasoning would have been the best thing going.
Those unions are the ones who killed the golden goose.  The unions are too big to allow any company to be able to make a ....dare I say it?....shhhhh....profit.</description>
