The US auto industry shouldn't be bailed out. The idea that Michigan would go down in flames is predicated on the belief that the people there are capable of only one thing- working in an auto plant.

Just as a for instance. Why not re-tool all the plants to build rail cars and get the country into feasible rail travel? You know, if I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure somewhere over in Europe people travel in trains.
