The Tesla is innovative, and I would much rather our gov't put money into it, and other ventures, than waste it on GM. If tesla could sell as many cars as hyundai, I think that would change the market pretty substantially. And it might be a product someone from outside the U.S. would be interested in, too.
It changes my perspective to think that rather than bail out or nationalize GM, why don't we all just make our next purchase a GM car? That would bail them out, and we'd get a car. With the bailout, we pay for a car, and don't get a car. But would people bail them out by buying their cars? Apparently not, so why bail them out and likely get nothing back, especially if you would never buy their product? kj.
