What do you think about loaning the money to the Big 3 and having Mitt Romney be in charge of authorizing spending of the money/contracts? Didn't he bring Staples back from the dead?


Mike
Absolutely, Mitt Romney would be a great choice. I don't remember about Staples, but I do remember his work on the winter Olympics.

The Detroit 3 have not had a case of "the way we've always done it" in so long, I can't even remember. Every year there are new programs to cut non-vehicle related costs, new programs partnering with their suppliers, etc.

The way new product is coming in at Ford, I know they don't have a case of "the way we've always done it".
