  1. The Consumer seems to have spoken again to detroit.
    let Market forces prevail.
    Tying this to the UAW wont work this time either
    all the Japanese Automakers here in the US now pay more than the UAW bargain for the big 3 and are not asking for a bailout.
    What Ford wants here is for the People of the United States to build them a state-of-the-art
    factory for free and give them workers who will work for wal-mart wages like the .75 cent an hour auto workers in Brazil.
    The sad part is that these execs just will not learn,they did it in the late fifties,twice in the seventies and deplorable junk in the eighties.
    Who gets hurt? The factory worker as always.

  2. Uh,I forgot this link in the above.
    (Quick Quote):
    “”There were certainly years back then at the profit peak of the truck boom when we could gaily march out the door and buy Volvo, or Jaguar, or Saab — brilliant moves — with our truck profits, rather than invest in hybrids,” McAlinden quipped about GM’s and Ford’s spending decisions””
