The Democrats want to give money to the auto companies and the Republicans don't? Dude, I am sooooo confused.
Although I can't help wondering, why don't we just go to the auto companies and place a massive order for busses? Pay them enough to keep their factories running and keep their workers working and put more mass transportation on the street. More work, less oil (or maybe none, with natural gas), less polution and more rides. What's not to like?
