U.S. GOVERNMENT CAN PURCHASE AUTO COMPANY AND MAKE HYBRID VEHICLES

The current state of the U.S. auto industry warrants your serious consideration. In short, I am proposing that you support me in developing a Corporate Government Enterprise (CGE) to purchase ailing auto companies. I propose the formation of a new Automobile Manufacturer, titled, the U.S. Auto Corp. at the current Chrysler Production facilities. The primary goal of this CGE will be to create 2 types of vehicles that will perform with high mileage as their main selling feature. They will utilize hybrid technology, as well as alternative fuels.

First off, the U.S. needs a Hybrid Economy Car that will be affordable to the average citizen. This vehicle can be a 4 passenger car similar to the Dodge Neon, but will get up to 60 MPG! The popularity of similar cars has catapulted Toyota to lead the Nation in auto sales this year. If our price point is under $15,000 per vehicle, we will have a guarantee of success in our domestic market. Furthermore, the mass production of such vehicles will drastically lower our dependence on foreign oil!

Secondly, the U.S. Auto Corp. can create a high mileage Delivery Truck that can be purchased by postal, medical, and passenger transportation services around the country. It will also utilize Hybrid technology and will offer an economical alternative to companies that are seeking to lower their operating expenses. This Truck can be modified to meet any specific function, from deliveries, to human transport. It will be retrofitted to run primarily on bio-diesel and/or hydrogen. The target fuel consumption will be 30 Mpg. With the specialization of our industrial and service sector needs in the U.S., these trucks will serve as a new transportation backbone for our country. Government organizations can use these vehicles, thereby diverting the money for new vehicle purchases back into the government.

Additionally, the purchase of an ailing auto company by the citizens of the Untied States, will serve as model for many other industries. The United States is in a unique position to create a Universal Health plan and Pension Fund for workers at the U.S. Auto Corporation. If this is created, it will serve as a plan that many other troubled U.S. industries can adopt to alleviate their fiscal crisis. I realize this is a major undertaking for our government, but I believe it will launch us into the 21st Century with a renewed economic directive. I will be leading a coalition of citizens in support of this idea. I am completely open to your input and discussion on this matter.
