"No doubt management has a lot to answer for. But so has the government. They have been socking the auto industry over the head every chance they got since the 60s. The unions have been milking the industry since they got the upper hand in the 50s."

Would someone explain how European and Japanese manufacturers do it? They also have tough CAFE and safety standards, difficult unions, and workers have all kinds of rights and privileges... and yet they seem to do OK.
