These are tough times and call for tough measures. These car Co. have options and they are trying to keep from using the ones that will help in the long run. They are looking at the short term and quick fix. For them to be competitive they need restructure and deal with the pain today. UAW needs to go and a more realalistic structure remain. Look at the bloated car prices and tell me that is a fair price. We live in a capitalistic society and we have rules and checks and balances. Lets use them. Or we could continue to go towards socialism and let the Gov. run the show. I hope we choose private industry... they are so much better without Government intervention. The Gov. can't run what its got and for a fact will screw this up too. Face it, American run auto co. are not going to continue if something does not change. They cannot compete with the burden they now have and a change is what they need.
