Many foreign nations building cars overseas have nationalized health plans and inferior wages that bring down the costs of foreign cars. Granted the foreign CEO’s do not have multi-million dollar contracts with multi-million dollar perks, they have regulations on how much the CEOs can make above and beyond the factory workers. Profits made in the USA from the foreign car makers go back to the country of origin. I think we all have to stand together and support things MADE IN THE USA or living the American dream might become a nightmare.:flag2:
Have'nt union workers gone on strike to strongarm American auto manufacturers into a lot of these decisions?

Also profits made by any car manufacturer go to the shareholders(which could be anybody on the globe).

That all depends on the judge running the bankruptcy proceedings, usually in the case with business-consumer issues they act to help the consumer.

Considering it took Clinton's "office" almost a month to respond; I HOPE she wrote it herself!
