Then it was decided to build (middle of the line) cars that require excessive labor/time for basic maintenence. The blame goes around in quite a few circles. And I also feel for those that are loosing a job that they have worked hard at and took an interest in. Sure is a shame we have let big money/big government spend us into this mess. The economy can live only so long on "paper".

Are you related to "Babe Ruth"??? I ask because you hit this one out of the park in CENTER FIELD!!! Since I work for a parts supplier for AC Delco, nothing has bugged me more than delivering said parts that were not made in America (or perhaps Canada), like they should've! I bet those GM Exec.s sure enjoyed those extra profits they earned once they were able to start enjoying greater profits, due to their reduced production costs...what about us consumers? You know what we got, and do they make shoes that big???
