Gee what were we thinking that with our taxpayer money that we should require some accountability. Your posts grow more antagonistic to those of us who disagree. For as you said

I've read this whole thread, and you, sir, have been rude and condescending. My God, man! How much worse can you treat another human being? Len's posted that he's been out of work for over a year, and he's a degreed, experienced professional! On top of that, a page or two back, he posts that his wife's paralegal job (another degreed professional) was axed, as a direct result of the Big Three's financial problems, and what do you focus on? You focus on Len's exasperation over people expressing ideas that won't work. Even Bush is now supporting the idea of getting some loan money to the Big Three. Not a word of sympathy over his wife's job loss. His bad situation got worse, and you say nothing. Way to go, man, way to go.
I've seen Len_A post from a position of deep experience within the industry, MotorCity's posts essentially backing him up, also from industry experience, and you respond with contempt. You don't like being referred to as a "keyboard jockey". I get that. Then how about answering a straight question Len asked with a straight answer.
How much money did Texas throw at Toyota, in order to entice Toyota to locate an a truck plant in San Antonio? How much was federal tax dollars? We all pay federal income taxes (presumably we all do) - those men and women in the Detroit based industry - Len asked a valid question. How much of their federal tax dollars were used to subsidize competition to GM and Ford and Chrysler?
Or is that use of public money A-OK 'cause the plant is in your state, and Detroit cars supposedly suck? (because all the "experts" posting on detailing web sites are so-o-o unbiased, and know what's really a great car)
The lack of humanity, regarding the potential loss of so many jobs, and the contemptuous attitudes shown all the people connected to the domestic auto industry, is unbelievable. Our grandparents and great grandparents generations would be ashamed of those posts.
