I am not hoping for another bailout, I am hoping they can get their affairs in order and continue on the internal changes to move them towards profitiabilty in the 10'/11' time-frame, however I am not that dumb. And yes, may positve changes have been made that do not get talked about internally, they are reinventing themselves, at least on the engineering and manufacturing side. Toyota like work rules are being adapted by Ford, I am not so sure about GM.

I have to be honest with you, I think Chrysler will not make it and their money will be for the orderly dis-assemblage of them, Sad as it is to say, GM and Ford will be stronger without them as they pick up their market share.

It is not just unskilled line guys they are paying for as far as retiree bennies, it is salaried as well, many my wife's former coworkers many good engineering types.

I am well aware of the debt we leave my kids, This is a warning shot to the lugs in all three branches to Fix SSI/Medicaid/Medicare or spin them off into a 501(c)(3) like the Canadians did with their Air Traffic Control system to make it work.

I’m sorry if your wife’s job is in jeopardy, not sorry enough to send a big chunk of my family’s income to Michigan, but still sorry.

You might want to think about moving out of the People’s Republic of Michigan. I’m sure your wife wouldn’t have a problem getting on with one of well run auto companies down south.
