Auto companies and the UAW have done much more than other industries to get lean, efficient and profitable --timbuktom
Oh, so paying thousands full salary and benefits to sit around and read magazines and not build cars is "lean, efficient and profitable?" Don't make me laugh.
The Neocon Republicans caused/allowed our spectacular instant economic collapse. Not the auto companies. --timbuktom
The leading cause of the sudden collapse in September was the credit crunch caused by the collapse of the subprime lending market championed almost 100% by Democrats like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, who assured us a mere year ago that all was peachy keen with Sallie Mae/Freddie Mac. (That is also while Dodd was getting sweatheart mortgage deals from Countrywide via Sallie Mae and while Frank's homosexual lover was a high muckety-muck in Freddie Mac.) The subprime mess was also encourage by liberal groups like ACORN, which threatened legal action against mortgage companies that wouldn't lend to "people of color" no matter how un-creditworthy they might have been.
For those who haven't drunk the Kook-Aid and have actually paid attention to what's happening in the world, timbuktom is full of crap, spouting the usual Salon nonsense because he can count on the ignorance of his fellow readers.
