I did like the idea I heard on CNBC last night.
The idea was a darwinian strategy for dealing with the auto industry
debacle. Simple put, the 3 auto companies should be called together and
told that the US government was going to give 25B to one of the 3
companies and the government was going to let the 2 other companies
fail (or just not support them). The companies would have to go off and
negotiate with unions, sub contractors and come up with the best plan
to present to a panel of business execs. The winner of the contest
would get 15B today and another 10 in 120 days if the company made
progress on its plan.
