>>>*This one is very interesting, especially since the supposed problem that "could" happen actually hasn't?

One neat way to put many thousands of technicians to work is to bring in a million or so vehicles, spend some billable hours installing a roughly $0.38 cent gasket (at the manufacturer level cost) and pay for it with...taxpayer dollars, thus generating "profits" for the company?

It works out to around a quarter billion dollars or more in billable hours, puts techs to work, that income stream gets taxed, dollars flow into areas that need it badly???

This one is one of my conspiracy theories....*LOL**...It works on the same theory as fixing every bridge in the Nation..at once. Guaranteed economic stimulation there. 1.5 millions recall jobs at about $150-300 per, times flowing through the economy at 2.2 times each dollar?

*Oil fires....K. Yea, sure, the leak could cause one..maybe..if it leaked........*EB
