How’s this for a stimulus plan? Buy the gas guzzlers off of Detroit, give them to the Iraqis, who have more dirt cheap fuel than we have corn, so we’ll be their heroes. That’ll give the Big Three a cash boost for actual stock that Americans made, not money for nothing. Tax gas back up to $4+, and use that money to pay for the bank bailout and keep short sighted Americans from getting lulled by cheap fuel, and make them want the crap Pinto type cars due to come by Congressional order. And by pulling that money out of the system, you reduce the inflation to come from recovery.
