Much better idea. Take that 34 billion and divide it up between every adult US citizen. They will pay off all their bills, including their homes so knowone is now homeless. Then take some of it and buy a new car or perhaps two. Now the banks have their money back, the big 3 now are making money so will not need a bailout. The economy will boom because people will be spending again. Oh and lets not forget before all else, tax the amount recieved (up front) so the govt. now gets a good percentage of their money back. Appears to be a win win to me.

Has anyone noted even if get the bailout, Chrysler still planning on laying off several thousand workers. also, what good is a bailout? the big three have cut the cost of a new vehicle down to rock bottom and still the general public does not have the money to buy a new car. what good would a new car do you if you lost your home? We have cut corners everywhere possible but our dollar seems shrink more everyday.First we were told the cost of food went up because it cost more to bring the food in (cost of fuel.) Same with our power and gas bills. Now the cost of fuel way down but no effect on our power or gas bills. What is the excuse now I wonder. Bottom line, a bailout for the big 3 would be useless because the general public would still not be able to afford the vehicle.
