As Obama has already said, paraphrasing, that the bridge to success must lead to immediate viability. I might add, no vague promises of assurance - everything in writing. The entire management team must resign, effective immediately. A transition team, waiting in the wings, made of industry experts with labor union leaders will take applications and interview. Retooling begins immediately. Mandates for efficiency standards, quality control, alternative hydrocarbon systems that use biodiesel (i.e.. from hemp seed, algae - no food crops), hybrid-plugin technologies and finally total electric. Government will integrate the needs of infrastructure (bio-fueling stations, plugin facilities, etc) through financial incentives. Time’s running out for a process to resuscitate this mess with minimal risk of failure. We must not fail.

The auto companies have a business model which is totally unworkable.
