You know it's funny that just years ago we were buying everything that all the car Manufactures were making. The SUV's, big trucks, cars, etc. with no thought of what the gas mileage was on them. Now in the last year gas prices go up, cars don't sell and the big three get the blame. Come on guys, it's not entirely there fault. Banks crash, people can't get loans and cars aren't selling. Now what would happen if all three went out of business. All the companies that make the parts for your vehicles are gone, no dealerships, insurance companys go broke, etc. and where would that put us? ression, hell no. Your takling about a depression. I think the only way the car companys can make it is the unions have to settle for a much lower wage than the average assembly person makes. With benefits it's over $70.00/hr. Not to shabby of a income is it??? And the CO's and CEO's would have to go and make way for new people or else the same thing is going to happen all over again. Just my 2 cents worth.
