Its not ALL the car companys fault. The $4 a gallon gas kinda exposed a flaw in the plan. It eliminated the middle class so that now theres basically the poor and the not poor(can't really say rich about alot of em). When the gas went up so did everything else, steel, food, energy costs, everything. And now that gas has gone back down nothing else has, in fact I went to the grocery store lastnight and my gatorade went from 1.08 to 1.16 since last week. Whats that almost an 8% increase? My cable bill just went up like 16%. Yet I will most likely be getting another paycut after not having any raises for 2 years already(to go along with the elimination of OT last june). The gas prices is what caused this rapid downward spiral the last 2 years. I don't know why no one will admit it! Nobody can see that? Anyways, go on and bash the big three but its really ALL car companies that are hurting right now. If the cost of cows doubled in 3 months not many people would be goin to The Outback anymore either!! To me you need to thank the oil men who were in office who did nothing to slow down their oil speculating buddies when they stuck it to the american people and ultimately the world.
