Good idea. Let's go even further

from Gary Unger, author, speaker and advertising consultant

I like the idea of another business coming in to loan the auto makers out. I was wondering why they never approached Warren Buffet for the money. Didn't he infuse GE with a ton of cash? ... or maybe they did and he said "no" to their way of doing business. Hmmm. Either way, Other industries have crossed the lines of only being a manufacturer or retailer. Why not let the oil companies buy one of the biggest reasons they too are still in business. WalMart is not only a retailer, they also manufacture as well. Grocery stores have their name brands. Why not Chevron owning GM? It's security in continued sales for Chevron (or other big oil).

And to possibly take the idea even farther ... since our government will likely borrow the money from some other countries anyway, why not just let the automakers go straight to the source of the loans. It'd save them a bunch of interest and political red tape, taxpayer concerns and keep us out of the whole mess. Let another country deal with the automaker failure.

How about WalMart and MicroSoft buying one company each. Then we can buy at least one car at a cheap price the same day we buy a pair of socks. And we could also get our computer geek to check out our car when he comes over to fix our laptops.

But I do love the idea of Big Oil jumping in. It makes sense if they want to keep oil flowing.
