So then, you are agreeing/admitting that

1) Ford made a great business decision that kept them alive

2) GM/Chrysler made a bad financial decision that, like other companies normally, ruined them ? [/quote]

Absolutely not. I think Ford just got lucky. If I recall, prior to Bankster meltdown, Ford numbers were worse than GM – in sales AND debt.

It doesn’t really matter to me. I am rooting for all 3 American auto companies and against unfair foreign competition.

This has all been hashed out on this forum earlier and I think most agreed there was enough blame to go around for everyone and concessions have been made by all parties.

So, for the “short thinkers”, and at the sake of being labeled a “jingoist” (actually had to look that one up)I have to ask again, because it seems to fall thru the cracks: What are YOU, as an American, willing to do to help fix what Gov alone cannot ?

Please join me in asking Jeff Bridges to respectfully drop the Hyundai ads and support the country that helped him become the deservedly rich celebrity that he is.

If you have a better idea HOW TO DO YOUR PART TO HELP, I am willing to listen (as long as it it has nothing to do with buying imported car brands).

[quote=flu]Ford can stand on it’s two feet (or I should say it’s 4 wheels)…Why not GM or Chrysler? BTW: buying a chrysler isn’t buying american anymore.[/quote]

Nothing against Ford but, they were fortunate enough to take out a huge loan against all their assets before the Bankster Meltdown.

Hopefully it will last thru the recession before they have to ask the Gov for a bailout too.

Allan from Fallbrook: How many decades does it take for Americans to trust American Made again when all the evidence, as you concede, points to “quality” being “fairly level” with the imports ?

[/quote]

Allan: You never answered my first question.

Nor have you offered up a solution other than, as far as I can tell, let the chips fall where they may, the free market justifies all and is the end to all means.

I’m not being snide but, do I have that right ?

And comparing me to Dubya ? Now that REALLY hurts !

[quote=flu]I wonder what these folks have to say about the Korean automakers….

http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/worklife/07/08/fortunate.town/index.html

Anyone want to educate these folks to be more “American”?

Holy Snickers…..We’re talking about Geooooooorgia….Maybe this country is more open minded and not as doomed as I thought.[/quote]

Oh jeeze. That’s like the local hardware store owner welcoming Wal Mart to town. We are going to hell in a hand-basket.

Ignorance truly is bliss.
