I've seen many of these pictures before. Makes me think more and more that no bailout is going to help any of the car manufacturers. They're going to have to trim labor, administration, execs, management, dealerships, everything.

I mean, short of the government actually buying up the product, how can you bail out a retailer?

Then again, I suppose that is what the talk was about for buying up the "toxic debt" as well.

I think you've stumbled onto an idea. The government buys excess agriculture products to increase price (i think this is true). Why not buy up the excess autos. They could then hire a national taxi force of millions. Now that would be a stimulus package.
