Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Was: bailouts or similar...

[Bill Shaw (b.shaw]

Oh,  don't read me wrong.  I don't disagree with the chapter 11 
solution.  It's just that  "Just say no"  doesn't work with drugs or 
kids.  I don't see how it could have worked with the auto industry either. 

It is much more than just the unions, although I think they are a big 
part part of the problem they are not all of the problem.  There's also 
the huge salaries given to the execs,  the waste and inefficiencies in 
big business, the foreign nations manipulating their currency values to 
make their  goods appear to be cheaper,  the short-sighted consumers,  
the"Anything the US makes HAS to be inferior" mentality (amongst the US 
population! I hear it all over lists like this again and again!) and 
dozens of other factors.
