Wow, the financial industry gets 700 Billion no questions asked (including one individual company getting over $100b ITSELF), but when the auto industry asks for 25 or 50 billion, they get this. Thats bullshit. If they want 50 mpg, they need to get rid of a ton of safety and emissions rules.

I'm going to call (Being respectful, of course) and try to talk some sense into them. 50 mpg is ridiculous.
