Honestly, if Americans actually purchased and drove American-made cars, I'd so go for it!  Keep the dream alive.  But we don't.  We're a selfish nation of consumers and I don't want to be party to greed.  I rememeber when the U.S. Government bailed out Chrysler in the 80s.  They paid their debt back in a tenth of the time - with interest, and came back with an amazing lineup after their tailspin.  They were highly motivated and made a difference.

I just don't see that today with any of them.

Apparently he's still writing books.  In one published last year, he wrote:

Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course." Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!

Meta, ain't it the truth?

I love all these things that people keep sending me about the bailout.
