Is GM really a multi-national? They're a US company that owns a few foreign brands.

Right, you have one car per person who can drive in the US. Should the money really be pushed into trying to make more? If it's just the jobs you're wanting to say, then say so, because the companies themselves are screwed.

A good solution I heard was to give GM a government contract to make the federal car (or something) that would be a hugely efficient car/truck used by all government forces and partly paid for in advance like is done with the defence industry. Or tell them to make some military stuff.

If they're being propped up purely to keep jobs, don't do it. Create new jobs.
