And so I guess you believe pigs fly think...your analysis clearly is in default, you make no statistical argument, just emotional ranting. Bail losers out with the same blackmail used by the other Paulson cronies...hell no. Let them go into bankruptcy, and try to build a car Americans want to buy. It's simple math, you build crap that no one wants that's cheaper then imports, you've got a serious problem. I think Americans are sick of getting ripped off by the new corporate socialism. This is 4th. grade math, figure it out...less sales with lower price- junk...more sales higher price- smart quality management...AMC and Studebaker were great companies, what the heel you been smoking, AMC was here in Wisconsin and there's still local jokes here on how they built those cars so crappy...break off a bolt head and screw it on, families had to sell them to keep their kids from falling through the rust holes And Steel, everyone knows foreign steel prices doomed them, as for the Studebaker, one of the ugliest cars ever made...Finally, we know what caused the great credit collapse, lack of regulation, selling worthless derivatives, rating triple A, buying insurance on them knowing they were crap, then dumping their debt. The lower traders know it was wrong but the top people ignored them and took their greedy cut, then black mailed us...pathetic souls indeed. I'd be interested in some facts in your rage, however, I'm certain you won't find any...that a strong wind you pee into my friend, and I musy say, a pretty friggin strange one...
You're a good man Steve...
Nice try William, but the reality is, they're not buying American cars, that's the problem. Do a price check and you'll find that in general American cars are cheaper, but they still don't sell? The bottom line is sales, sales and sales. These raw numbers don't lie. The big three just aren't building what Americans want, a quality product. These three companies have been ran into the ground by incompetent management? And they want more money with no plan to change there inept strategy? That's insane. A sixth garder could have raised their hand and raised the question to GM by asking, excuse me, but if gas prices go up, won't our SUVs go into the tank? And now GM makes an insane commitment to build the Volt an all electric car with projections now showing the retail price would be over $30,000? Great plan, looks like Toyota and Honda will be selling the Prius and Insight like hot cakes while that Volt sits? The problem is simple, the country that invented the automobile has went into the ditch. What makes Toyota, Honda and Nissan successful is their commitment to quality management and their continuous improvement process. They refine their R&D process with their models and involve production workers in refining the production process. What a great idea, people building the cars the individuals that are close to the process provide input to improve it to raise productivity? Their production is aligned top to bottom (Management to worker). And hey guess what, there workers have an extraordinary higher moral then their American counter parts who crank out bad cars. The worst thing about this whole auto industry problem too, is we taught Japan TQM to help rebuild their country after World War II...they flat out have beaten us at their own game. You can't simply build an inferior product and price it cheaper then your competition. Normally, when people buy cars, they do their homework and buy the best value. Lee (Chrysler) borrowed 5 billion from the government and built the K-Cars and guess what, he paid it back way ahead of time. The big three needs to fire a lot of people before they were even offered a dime.
Good night Annie...get well soon!
