Now, compound that with the economy in general; and a bad reputation that was of their own doing........baaaaad situation. But it doesn't mean they did something "wrong".



If they feel it's their responsibilty to tell companies HOW to do buisiness (ie CAFE), then I feel it's their responsibility to HELP them do business. The whole CAFE thing is quite against Lassiez-Faire to begin with, and very stupid in concept, imo. The market shift for more efficient cars would have gotten the automakers there just as efficiently. But no. The gov't; in typical gov't fashion...gave a ridculous order; and left the body to fend for itself. THAT is what the gov't shouldn't be doing....

Agreed, If your not going to help, Shut the Fuc* up and let us do business are way
