Just finished watching the conference, too. I am encrouraged by the plan they have ready. The money's already there...they just need convincing to approve its use for other purposes than fuel economy improvements. And this being bipartisan lifts my hopes for its passing December 8th.
Put very simply for those who don't understand, or haven't read anything yet; This legislation would give the automakers a chance to apply for a loan. The money would come from an already-appropriated $25 billion pool destined to retool plants for fuel efficient vehicles. The catch, is that this money will be put BACK into the pool for its original use as it gets paid back by the Big Three.
Now GM...Ford, Chrysler.....give them their business plan...get this money...get to 2010, and do us proud!
EDIT: I was also pleased to hear that guy rant a little bit about American vehicles quality compared to imports...at least somebody with a "loud voice" gets it.
