There's plenty of support. What's weighing the companies down is legacy costs and bad decisions, which may require legal reform to fix. With Bob Lutz saying "products" is the way to go, the bad decisions are turning around. But paying retirees forever is outrageous. With modern sky life expectancies, we should also expect the retirement age to push up to age 70. These "retirees" should be mandated to work as reserves for the companies from which they retired. 75% of our nation's medical costs are due to the elderly. It's time for a law to force them to pay back, or be euthanized. “the nation needs to work on “giving them support to level the playing field”

It was always 3 U.S. automakers and still is (or are you pissed at DaimlerChrysler for their merger? :-P). Unless of course you count the exotic car manufacturers like Saleen etc., but that's another issue entirely. :-/ Madcapp: since when did it change?
