In my mind Chapter 11 is the prudent way for them to prove themselves.
I've written my Congress folks on just where I stand. I hope other are
doing the same.

I just received an email from a local Buick/Pontiac/GMC dealership.
Somehow I ended up on their email list and they occasionally send me
notices of "special deals".

Anyway, the email was different. It was a a request from GM (via the
dealership) to contact my Congressional representatives and encourage them
to bail out the auto industry. It had form letters all written and all I
had to do was click.

I didn't.

Gotta think about this some more. But I *did* have an idea.
Why doesn't the US Federal Government file for Chapter 11 bankrupcy and
reorganize?
During the reorganization period, stop all interest payments on loans,
stop all foreign aid programs,
stop everything except National Defense. Have all the troops in Iraq
head back to the barracks and pack up.

Appoint a representative from each state .... sorta like a second
Contiental Congress .... and come up with a reorganization plan, based
upon the Constitution. Pay 10 cents on the dollar to all creditors, and
start over.

I've said this before.
You could go under United Nations leadership until your own gov't can prove
that it could run the country in a responsible manner.
The US is just too important to the worlds' economy to be led in such
careless manner.

Thanks for your input.

Why didn't you run for president?

UN *leadership*, what an oxymoron.
Doesn't the U.S. own the UN?

There for a while wasn't the US the only country paying up?

Canada and the US pay too much. US of course pays more but shouldn't. If
based on population China is a little behind as are the nations in Africa
and other parts of Asia.

UN needs to do one of two things.

You have as many votes as you paid into the UN in $$ or

Everyone pays the same fee.

I can hear the howling from the cheap seats.
