i don't think that's true.

i drive a foreign car but i don't want the autos bailed out- they made their bed, now sleep in it. enough of the bailouts due to poor decisionmaking.

I was told by an unreliable source that the big 3 are indirectly responsible for 10% of the workforce in the U.S.

How long do you think it would take for a "group" to buy the physical plant of these defunct companies and start buildling cars the right way with a work force of people that have to work the right way and not be paid like hospital employed doctors?



How long did they expect people to buy American while taking the hit for the auto companies incompetence at the same time?

We've got to switch to Natural Gas and force the big 3 to make cars that can run on it.

We can't continue wasting trillions of dollars trying to take oil from nomads. It's not working.

Well I think not.




That'd be a bad ah-dee-er.


But soon all the evil doers will be recognized and things will begin to change...and for the right reasons.


How long it lasts...I don't know.

The problem isn't finding the evil doers...it's trying to find the honest one, if any, out of the bunch.

These are the times they get discovered.




By the way....we are also paying for all the buy outs and take overs the federalies let happen.



This has happened in every field; and all it has done is take away jobs from people directly and indirectly. The money lost to these people went 10 fold into the pockets of the evil doers.

Dala and CowGirl have to get in here and cross their legs in short skirts.





Thebby won't because she never wears a skirt.

Maybe Steve could take her place.
