The dems are writing up a loan out of the existing bailout, which would include the government sharing in profits, a viable buisiness plan from the auto companies, and in general more oversight, but there isn't much hope of getting it passed because of repblican resistance. I would imagine the next step would be for the pubs to come back with an alternative plan. Unfortunately, the last time they did that, we wound up paying for wooden arrows..LOL.
