US economy Slam brakes on Carmakers

www.ft.com...

Americans love their cars,in fact America is well know around the world as being defiant about buying Gas guzzlers. To heck with the environment in the process.

Well if Americans are so ardent in buying big pickups ,suv's,and big cars.
It must pain them to realize they were wrong and they defy logic in their choices for motor vehicles over the last 30 years.

As the economy digs it's own grave and erects it's Tombstone Rip
the people of American may well have finally caught on to what the rest of the world already knew 50 years ago.

As Gm and Ford get ready to leave American factories for cheaper labor abroad the resulting collapse of the labor force will send as many as
A million people onto the streets and out of work.

A sad end to Detroit

Ever been to Detroit? .. It's a sad place in general. In fact.. if there where a picture of what arriving in Hell where like, it would be driving from Ohio into Detroit, coming over the hill on a wooded highway and entering a forest of smoke stacks and plumes of smock, exhaust, and disgusting smells.. and it only gets worse once you actually get into the city, it's a sh# hole to say the least.

American's can still buy big cars, trucks, SUV's.. we still have the cheapest gas in the world as far as the advanced nations go..

The only reason Europe prefers small cars is because Europe is actually tiny.. a typical country is the size (or smaller) of an average US State..

The result.. we spread out miles on end, living 50 miles from where we work simply because we can, and we don't like those "inner city" folk ..

Where as if Europe did that, every square inch would be covered..

I suppose if you where not so culturally ignorant and backwards in your pathetic thought process, you would know that.
