No shit. I'm sick of reading about people who have done nothing but ill for the companies they've manged. I'm using managed here in it's loosest term. Run AIG into the ground? Here's 8 million will you please go away now? Driven an auto company into the ditch? Can we pay you a few million and get you a private jet so you can go beg the tax payers for several billion buck for a tow? Asinine.

Then, I''d tell the auto industry that ALL parts and labor MUST be made and done in the USA to which the government will give credit to the industry and absorb some of the pension plans. T
For housing, I'd offer a $20,000 tax credit for every $50,000 spent on housing. The same here, taken at once, applied to the loan or taken over a period of 10 years.
Then, I'd tell the banks and auto industry that's the best and ONLY thing we'll do.

Interesting ideas but I have no idea if that adds up to recovery. My guess is it's going to take thinking like this on several levels instead of "that's all we can do."
