Seen a lot happen over 30 years and the general public just doesn't understand the impact of the US auto industy has on the overall economy. We're about the only nation in the world where the government doesn't assist the auto industry. Ever wonder why Ford, GM, Chrysler don't sell vehicles in Japan? After the government tariffs kick in our vehicles are 30K more expensive as they protect their own. Just remember what the auto industry did for the country during WWII. After 911 they contributed large amounts of funds and vehicles. What did Toyota and the rest do? Not a dam thing.........
Even Toyota is getting hit in this credit crunch as they closed heir truck plant in San Antonio for 4 months and they also were recently down graded in credit status.
If the speculators didn't push
oil up to $ 150.00 a barrel and the wall street crooks and congress didn't create this mortgage/credit mess........even GM and Chrylser would be coming back fine.
Yes I work for Ford Motor Company and proud of it!!!!!
