Instead of the minutiae of some the holiday stuff, I want to get back to the question of how people get newer, cleaner vehicles on the road to get ourselves recovered. Really, at the end of the day, what we're trying to do here is to get new vehicle sales up. It was good that Ford mentioned leasing. It hasn't been brought up as much here, but we had a significant lease market evaporate overnight.
One of the things that I'm concerned about is the continuation. It's interesting that we run the workers through the wringer, but the banks right now are still making huge profits. I use this as an example because they stopped dealing with the dealers, in terms of investment. I'm looking here at a typical bank loan right now that I just downloaded. They're at 8% to 14%, in this one in particular, if you've got good credit. They're probably the only ones making money off a car right now.
Do you support the creation of a fund or the assistance of a fund for the loan of vehicles to the dealership programs and to the financial arms of the companies to get low-interest loans out there? Is there a consensus on that issue? This is a fleecing. I heard this weekend of up to 30% financing on new vehicles or leased vehicles is being offered to consumers out there right now. I don't know how people can get by with that type of a loan.
