Carmaker advocates deny "blank check" rumor

“The government is not giving the automobile industry a blank check,” said Tim Whale, president of the Automotive Make-a-Wish Foundation (AMAWF), a charitable organization serving the needs of the automobile industry. “And if they gave us a blank check we'd just have to make it out for $15 billion dollars ourselves,which would probably take us several weeks and cost a million or two. So giving us one alrady made out for $15 billion is going to save the taxpayer money.”

“The automobile industry does not want a blank check,” agreed Donovan White, chairman of the Big Brothers of Automotive America (BBAA), also a charitable organization for downtrodden American automakers. “A $15 billion dollar check is quit sufficient, this month. Making it blank serves no purpose other than to try an portray automakers as greedy.”

“As good as the automotive industry is at losing money,” said Bill Melman, head of Gazillions for Gas Guzzlers (GfGG), an automotive lobbying organization recently re-registered as a charity, “we can’t lose more than $15 billion in a month, so providing us with a blank check is unnecessary.”
