I don't know how much each side has on hand, but I do know what the Government has proposed: To bailout Bad home loans, thus helping GMAC and its subprime Lender Di-Tech, and get them back on track. Also the Government plans to lend GM and Chrysler each billions of dollars, that may allow those troubled automakers a jump start on recovery. Just to remain in business is a win, win.

I understand that GM/Chrysler have been in negotiations for some time and have managed to collaborate on Truck production and Hybrid Technology. I don't know how extensive this is or could be, perhaps here lies the muse.

For the sake of the American Auto Manufacturing Industry I sincerely hope something will work out.
