"I suppose the Treasury will soon cover the debt for all new car dealerships that can't unload their inventory..."

The 'other shoe' will drop soon when GM and Ford go hat-in-hand to Washington asking for $50 Billion bailouts.

"this is sick, I think the free markets can take care of itself without any government bailout..."

Yep, the worst of both worlds: private profits and public losses (when they are making money it's all theirs, but when they are losing money it's the taxpayer's problem).

I know many dealerships in No Cal that have already gone under. The dealers themselves are losing hoards of money. We know one that was once on top of the world..............now his creditors are trying to impound his wife's jewelry.

Only the small dealerships will survive this market......IMHO
