Scary stuff about GM. They cancelled out on events for the November L.A. autoshow here. Serious penny-pinching for the largest automaker in the world (or is it Toyota now?).

TJR, those wont exist for long. This nation built itself on the oil and the auto. There is too much bussiness structured around it. No one will havethe $$ for anything. The high tech will continue to go overseas to developing countries. Most of the youth in this country dont care to advance or educate themselves. The ones that do wont be enough. We will see a domino effect, that no president can help. Our congress has become too selve serving and stuck to fix anything. Except take away more state and local rights. We wont need them.
20 yrs from now we will begin to be a 3rd world nation. With a mediocore form of socialism. Supported by the auristicats.
Those living under bridges in cardboard have head start on some of us...
soup lines, work camps. Those that have decent jobs will never own what they have. What little of middle class is left. will live in 500 to 900 sqft Government housing. Forget that 2000sqft house, that was to big for your family anyway. The rest, in the work and labor camps, live in sheds and owe the company store every paycheck. Like cambells soup factories and mining towns all over again.
Radical muslims are not the only ones waiting for us to crash. There are plenty others that are not going to help us as we have them. Except they will finnish buying up our farm land.
Maybe I sound too pesimistic but IMO we are already broken. The can do attitude of early last century is a pipe dream. Most of this countries $$, will have to be military, just to stay soveriegn.

I have never owned an american car where there were 1 or 2 major issues in the first 50K - tranny, head-gasket, on and on.
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today...
When did we become a country that expected, nay, demanded that a blue collar Detroit worker, with no college degree, have a job paying upwards of $40/hr with benefits? Why do we expect, no, again, demand that such workers be able to afford 3000 sq ft homes, an RV and a boat for playing on Lake Michigan on the weekends? When did these become our expectations?
REMEMBER PEARL HARBOUR
You all are pathetic, you complain about what is wrong with America, while you are driving your Japenese made cars. I don't see how anyone could support the Japs, REMEMBER PEARL HARBOUR, I would love to know what line of business your in, because if the big three goes under it's going to affect you and everyone you know in some way. Then you will bitch about that too I'm sure.
However, you are not considering how many people got up this morning, IN THIS COUNTRY, and went to work at a Toyota or Nissan plant producing cars purchased in this country.
The airlines that no longer exist can thank unyielding labor contracts forced by the unions. Not saying in the past the union didn't do right for those people, but as previously said, $40 an hour to install some trim does seem rather high to me.
Do you have any clue how much it costs your employer to employ you? That cost not only includes the hourly rate, but also benefits, and SS tax's.
Very true. How about this. How many people IN THIS COUNTRY will not be getting up and going to work because of Toyota, Honda, etc?
