And outsourcing.. People gotta be makin money to be able to spend it.
You're dead wrong. People have been spending more money on cars every year. There is no lack of automobile buyers - people don't want to buy GM cars because they are far too expensive compared to other, better vehicles made by competitors.
People are making money and they are spending it wisely on well-built foreign cars that are superior in every way to GM cars.
If the UAW did not exist, GM could build cars much more efficiently right here in the US, like Nissan does in AL and BMW does in SC.
The UAW is destroying GM.
