Since 1990 the US automotive industry has lost 50% of it's jobs. Ironically a lot of those jobs were lost due to the Big 3 themselves buying their parts from suppliers in third world countries. Another one of their strategies that has backfired on them. <BR/><BR/>I just don't think we can take such a big hit without making this economic crisis deeper and longer lasting.Random Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424966921651648450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213960489026233473.post-12801898825438730322008-11-21T18:55:00.000-05:002008-11-21T18:55:00.000-05:00How out of touch do they have to be,to climb aboar...How out of touch do they have to be,to climb aboard their private jets and presume to ask taxpayers,who can't even afford to buy their cars,to bail them out!..It boggles the mind.<BR/>You made a good point about congress as well...I don't think they are giving up any of their perks any time soon.<BR/>I do think they learned a harsh lesson from the wall street bailout,when it came to light that nearly half a million dollars was spent on a so-called 'retreat' the minute the check cleared,..they are at least asking for some some kind of accounting from the big 3.<BR/>It's my understanding that the auto industry will get it's loan,probably in December when the next session convenes.Slinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156315627331213427noreply@blogger.com
