Yea the bush administration is idiots, chrysler can go merge with Nissan. Chrysler workers can still lose their jobs because manufactoring will all be over sees and GM can go out of business and those employees can lose their jobs and pensions just because Bush wants to give the money to people like AIG who piss it away.. Way to go %$#^ head!

I work in the automotive industry for an engineering firm that does prototyping for all three of these companies as well as many others. Those of you who are familiar with cars and engineering may even know who we are, but that is beside the point.
For years the "Big Three" spent ungodly amounts of money on what my company considred pointless projects. But since they paid the money we did the work and most of the time (I would say 60%) the projects either failed or were discontinued for no reason. These companies at one time were posting a 30% profit margin and were flooded with so much money that they assumed it would always be there and spent, spent, spent and while they have tried to stem the flow of blood (Ford spinning parts of the company off into Visteon/ACH) nothing has helped. Union wages are insane and retirement payments are murder as well as these companies having a ridiculous number of upper management and engineering support. Seriouslly I cannot count the number of times during a project when their would 20 engineers/managers from these companies involved and none of them had any idea what the other one was doing. Horrible management and now it comes to bite them in the ass.
Don't worry though, the other car companies are not far behind them anyway.
