Today is not too early to think about gift-giving for this Christmas. Why? Because if you have your list of what gifts to give resolved early, that, and its money problems, are off your mind and, hence, less stress for you.

But, what if you don’t have any money for Ma’s xmas gift? And nothing for Pa’s? For brother’s? For sister’s? Or anything for uncles and aunts?

The dying American SUV, hopefully a thing of the past.

All it takes is a little out of the box thinking, real leadership and some pro-citizen, anti-corporate, conglomerate ideals. Bail them out on one condition — all conglomerates get divided up into smaller subunits.

GM, the one massive corporation, gets divided into 5 separate corporations: Buick and Cadillac; Chevrolet; GMC, Daewoo and Hummer; Pontiac and Saab; and, last but not least, Saturn. The US government should oversee the large corporate divisions and appoint a government official, that is not elected or influenced by any lobbying, to each division for regulation and supervision of the public’s investment.
