This should not include the taxpayer. So...letgobigthree.

But for some reason, those brands not owned by the Big 2/15 are not on the verge of bankruptcy. No, it’s not only the US auto industry.

I love how the news is trying to make american auto makers the posterchild and reason behind an economic collapse. What people are forgetting is the 700+ billion given to aig because they were giving loans to people who shouldnt of had them. At least the auto industry said they would repay the loan, or give stock options. No such words were uttered by AIG. So why does the american auto industry get slammed? 15 billion to save 2,500,000 jobs or give a risky lender 700 billion with no promise of repayment. Forclosed mortgages are to blame for a struggling economy. If people dont have money, how can they buy cars? With the F150 still best selling "Vehicle" in the united states, whats this talk about americans not producing fuel economy? Last i checked the F-150 got 16mpg. Looks like there looking for a scape goat. Ohhh so i guess its not just the american auto industry.
