Auto

My gut says Fuck the auto industry. I'm usually loathe to say Let the Market Sort it out, because positive social progress is always seen as unfamiliar and scary by average Americans, at least if we're talking about gay marriage, gender equality, civil rights, etc. But we're talking about cars, and the car industry in America, here--these are not social or political minorities that deserve to be defended by hordes of meat heads. The American car industry has always sold the idea of being American, which obviously means nothing more than Big, macho, homophobic, xenophobic, short-sighted, self-interested, my penis is not small and is very satisfying to women!
I would say that the American public is starting to shift away from being center-right to being center-left; it's starting to realize that we actually can't guzzle oil from the Middle east for infinity without even thinking about the two wars we've been waging there. The market has spoken, and it's saying that giant gas-hogs are no longer viable. Maybe when GM and whoever else figure out a way to build cars that run well, are affordable, fuel-efficient and comfortable and even attractive!, and figure out how to create a moderate amount of good jobs with benefits, as opposed to a large amount of terrible jobs with shit benefits and a tiny tiny tiny mount of super high paying bullshit sinecures...THEN maybe I'll consider voting to send my tax dollars (I work like a fucking mule. I don't know why) to bail out your fat asses.
