I know your joking, but you know what? In a case like this i wouldn't mind it a whole bunch as long as it was done properly and the timing was right. IE; not now.

Like no UAW involvement period...since i can assuredly say they are at least 50% of the reason (likely even more) the auto industry is where it is today.

Also, for such a huge undertaking and with things as they are, it would be a pretty solid investment in the future of the country IMO. The spawn off of parts making jobs etc would be beneficial.

Good use of a "stimulus" package somewhere down the road.
