The new car sales were what, 16-17million last year, and are expected to be 11-12 million in the near future.
Artificially inflating the industry only postpones the exact same situation we have now. I don't see them as solutions.
If GM is "too big to fail," then I'm all for them reducing their size and scope so that (a) they can begin to sell cars without huge incentives (i.e. not at a loss) and (b) their failure would not wreck the whole economy, as the "too big to fail" argument would lead us to believe.
Funding/promoting the status quo does not solve anything.
