Default RE: Bleak Forbes Editorial

I agree, we need to keep our auto companies alive. I lived throught the impact losing little bitty American Motors and what it caused to the economy in Wisconsin, Then Chrysler came and revived it only to end up shutting it all down and keep Jeep going-But move everything from WI short of a couple parts suppliers. Think of Fiat or someone else moving all the small parts jobs overseas, and just assemble a few things here -say just enough to bypass certain tarriffs. I was only a kid then when this happened to AMC but My neighborhood paid the price, I heard parents talk about losing their jobs,I remember kids(and their families) in my school moving and never seeing them again.I will get down off the soapbox now. Sory for whining a bit.
