Very interesting.
Here's basically my view of the problem and situation
I'm hoping the auto industry and it's workers survive this and I'm willing to have some of my taxes go to help them. But they have to start making cars that aren't crap and cars people want. Maybe it's too late. They showed up in DC in Nov(?) and basically said "give us a huge loan right now or we'll fail." That foresight and planning is pretty much how they've been doing business now for years, IMO.
I want to buy American, I bought American. I think it's good for everyone if manufacturing jobs thrive. But the POS Ford I have in my driveway makes me wonder if it's even possible to save them at this point.
