I am just sick and tire of fingers pointing. The gov't is not in the business of knowing everything that every company suppose to do. I don't certainly keep up with new/old detroit, I only know what I see on the street and what I see on the street I am not too wild about. If you are the "big" 3 auto industry, I would thing you would be smart enough to do analytical comparison using historical data on profits, #number of products sold, operating cost, or get feed backs on what your customer like or don't like. We have super computer that can calculate sales trends (or whatever you want to calculate) in seconds. It is not like they are living in the stoneage.
This is why I said leave the gov't out of it as they have their own problems to deal with
. This is just like the poor begging the poor for $ or the blind leading the blind.
