Not Ranked
I've read quotes from industry analysist that claim more than half of the cost of a new car is to cover pensions and health care for auto worker retirees.
My point is only that there are a lot of 'legacy' costs involved in many of our heavy industries which newer companies don't carry. Add to the mix an environment in the U.S. where everyone and their brother feels entiltled to some $$$ instead of working for it, and those 'new' manufacturers will go where the government views them as a partner - not an adversary.
Actually, that last statement is a lie... there are alot of good people left here who have a strong work ethic and pride in what they do, I'm very fortunate to be able to say that about 50 of'em work for me.
