Actually I think it all started in the 60's when the big three laugh at the foreign cars coming into the US. Then in the 70's they produced cars that got 10 miles to the gallon and rusted out before you paid off the 36 month loan. Actually now I think American cars are quite compatible with the foreign cars in both reliability and fitness. Of course when they are stuck with the wages and the retirements they are paying out they still do have problems. My thoughts are if the government can spend 700 billion to bail out the banks are what ever they are doing with that money what's 25 bill to bail out the auto industry. I think the treasury department has just put in for another press or two to keep that money coming. I just wrote my congressman for a bailout myself. I ask for 20 million but I will take 20 thousand.
