Micheal, I agree that the oil companies basically raped the american people, however I doubt this was the catalyst to all that has happened in the last few years. IMO it's all about greed and being fiscally irresponsable by the supposedly best and brightest business minds we have. Well hell I am willing to run any company in the ground for half of what they're paying these college wiz kids.Yopu know I've made my living in the auto industry for over 25 years now, I've seen several "down turns" over the years and yes things always seem to get better, I just think we need to lay the blame on the right people and hold them accountable for their actions. This applies to the auto industry, the real estate and banking and so on, if I do a bad job at work I'm certainly not going to expect to be rewarded for it. Joe
