As part of the auto bailout, why couldn't the federal government buy up -- at deep discounts -- excess SUV and pickup truck inventory sitting on dealer lots? These admitted "gas guzzlers" could then be allocated to local emergency services agencies, other hard-pressed public services and nonprofits such as Meals on Wheels that need large vehicles. That way, at least, taxpayers would get something tangible for their bailout money, while still relieving struggling dealers and auto manufacturers.
