There are probably 100s of industries and sectors imploding in this depression (folks hitech is getting there) that don't have lobbying power like the Autos. Instead bailing out Autos or Wall Street, this money needs to bailing out the wave of people that are going to enviably lose there jobs no matter what plan is done. But we should get something for the useful and lasting for the money - build Nuclear Power Plants, build a 100Mbs internet like they have in Japan/Korea, etc.
