I think some it has to do with the fact that foreign companies are producing better products cheaper and there is no way, no how Ford and GM will be able to compete -- and survive -- unless they get their house in order real, real fast, and the layoffs are a sign of that.

And I think just about everyone on this board wants GM and Ford to survive and continue to manufacture in the U.S. of A.

"And I think just about everyone on this board wants GM and Ford to survive and continue to manufacture in the U.S. of A."

I'll have to disagree with you on that one. I've seen posts by more than a few here who would love to see Ford and GM close down US operations and open in China.
