President Obama has said he’ll raise that to 1 million. That’s nice, but it’s still nowhere near enough to make a real dent in carbon emissions. Congress has added $250 million to the current budget for weatherization. That’s million with an “m”–not anything like the hundreds of billions taxpayers have poured into the pockets of the banks this year. And those billions ended up not as loans to businesses and consumers, but as dividends and executive bonuses.

We will lose our manufacturing capacity. Why doesn't anyone point out that this is a national security issue? The US auto industry re-tooled during WWII and we wouldn't have been able to win the war without them. Now we have folks in the south who gave billions of tax breaks to foreign auto companies. The foreign countries are propping up these foreign auto companies with money, but the southern senators want to see the us auto industry fail. Isn't that a conflict of interest? What is wrong with Americans? If the US auto industry goes down, our country goes down.

We the American people have as much to do with the auto makes being in this mess as they do. We requested Hummers, Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades and F-150s, not GM, Ford and Chrysler. Don't get me wrong it would have been nice for some CEO making millions of dollars a year to figure out that $1.25 a gallon gas wasn't going to last forever but neither did the American consumer who purchased these gas guzzling vehicles. Foreign auto makers aren't the Nostradamus of the manufacturing world they just happen to produce in counties where the streets are only 8 feet wide and gas has averaged 5 buck a gallon for as long as the population can remember. Just as our auto makers gave us what we wanted (econ. 101 supply and demand) and then got caught off guard when gas prices spiked, foreign auto makers happened to have a product that fit a niche Americans requested over night. If I'm going to give my tax money to bail people out I just as soon have it go to companies that employ a lot of blue collar workers rather than fatten the pocket of a lot of white collar workers. But that's just me.
