You have the most complete, coherant and balanced perspective on this whole US auto 'bailout' thing. I appreciate the lack of spin, and homerism in your comments. At work I have cut the legs out from under a more than a couple of the "Let 'em DIE" types, based on the background info I read here. Good job. I also appreciate the constructive comments and non 'jingoistic' replies I've read here. Good job everyone! Allpar is the BEST! Dear DaveAdmin.

There's something to be said about amending the Constitution to change the election process. There is ample precedent for that.

The new president promises change but ANY vote for either a Republican or a Democrat is a vote to continue the status quo. Both parties are equally to blame for the financial crisis. The only way out is a total overhaul of government; federal, state and local. Start with strict term limits on ALL elected officials. Limit their pay and benefits and ban campaign contributions by special interest groups and PACs. That would be great but I also believe that if the people voted for third party candidates it would send the message that the pols would have to govern by coalition and the will of the people instead of the will of the monied special interest.
