2. I agree...they've been in bed with each other so long, and are dependent on
each other, and God knows the oil companies are making out like the bandits they are...so yeah, let THEM bail out the auto companies.

5. They certainly could afford it, but we probably wouldn't like the results.
If the oil companies picked up the tab, you can say goodbye (again) to any sort of electric car. Probably anything that burns biodiesel as well.

6. The oil companies should buy GM or Ford or Chrysler
Then they could institute the same sales plan as the razor companies use. Sell a Cadillac for $5,000, but the gas fill neck only works at Exxon (or whoever the new owner is), and its $10 per gallon.
