Let them sell off the useless factories for scrap and re-build for something useful

A comment was made on Public Radio that we are bailing out the people that caused the problems.......

+1

SUVs should be taxed more or buyers should be forced to prove that they in fact do need an SUV (+5 family members living in the home, or need an SUV for business). Almost no family needs a vehicle that big. My sister, who's married and has one child with another on the way, bought a Saturn Aura SUV because "she needed it". Forget that. My parents had both me and my sister and we never had anything bigger than a Toyota Corolla. In fact, I distinctly remember when I was around the age of five, my parents drove us around in an old 2-door Tercel hatchback. It's a waste of fuel and a ridiculous waste of resources.
