Smitty, Good point...Big 3 have been on an ugly path for many many years. We have the same issue near me...GM & Ford were all the rage, now those guys are sweating it hard. Don't forget the Chinese Autos will soon be here too. What I would do with the money: 1) Secure our borders here @ home. If you really want to get in this country you can. 2) New roads, bridges, schools & hospitals....maybe even funnel some of that $$$ to some sort of healthcare coverage. Almost TVA type projects...much like I said right after 9/11. Of course, the Govt figures say unemployment is at a 4year low -yet they don't count the guy who lost his job 1 year ago and basically has given up finding a real job again? 3) Tap the oil in Alaska and or annex Canada. They've got great beer & hockey what can I say?<GGG> 4) Save a good chunk for OBL's next scene or the next Islamic twisted freak. Lots of people hate us all around the World, some for very good reason...that won't change no matter if we spend a Trillion $$ rebuilding their culture. Pakistan for example is our friend now, but I don't trust them - that's why we didn't ask before we sent that CIA drone a few weeks ago. When push comes to shove...they'd like kill us just the same. Steelers...you have have to like Bettis, the guys a class act and Big Ben looks like a 10y vet. Willie Parker helped me win my Fantasy league this year...so I'm biased there too!! I picked him up before week 1 even started, undrafted. (never mind my 9th round draft of Maurice Clarette..LOLOL) Cheers, TRashy
