GM announces plan to save america's hard hit consumer

just what can the world's biggest automobile manufacturer do when petrol hits $4 a gallon and everyone is feeling the 'pain at the pump' because governments havent invested in public transportation since discovering that dead dinosaurs, etc. could be used to power vehicles?

why, give americans cash incentives on the biggest gas guzzlers of them all, of course. that's what america needs, right now. THIS IS OUR FUCKING COUNTRY!

i would have thought giving them stock in exxon/mobil to the same value might have shown a little more intellectual ingenuity, and actually benefitted the consumer because in just a few short years these shares will be worth more than their vehicles...
