I agree, the union is a good thing I guess. But, there are waaaay too many people that take advantage of the system, and ruin everything about it. That's makes me hate the union, and I really wouldn't mind seeing it dissapear.

Ford leveraged every asset they had via mortgaging it to save thier company and not take a bailout.. ok maybe they got some of the mortgage money from a Chinese bank( i really have no idea if they did, or what banks they did business with).. but my point is.. Ford saved themselves.. so how are they sending thier money overseas?
GM.. well, they started with a US Government bailout, so thier money goes to the Government of the US since the US OWNS 60 percent of them.
Dodge, is only 80% American. the UAW is a greedy organization that helped destroy GM, Ford, and Dodge\Chysler\Plymouth. And btw, the Mustang , while is may have foreign electronics, is 100% built in America, by Americans, supporting an AMERICAN company. Its always been built in Detroit, and according to Ford, always will be.

bottom line, support the American companies, keep our money here..

from what i understand, ford put up everything but their name and logos for collateral to save the company on their own, gotta give them props for doing it on their own:thumb:, and showing that they have enough pride not to take hand outs, and american tax payers cash, but even with that said i have and will continue to buy gm and nothing else until its 100% forgein, or a new american auto maker starts up and proves them selves (highly unlikely), good post MidwestSS
