I just read a story in the Detroit Free press which says that for every dollar GM makes it spends 50 cents on paying the pensions and Health care costs of retired workers. Clearly that has some effect on how bad they are doing.

Look I am not saying the Big 3 are not at fault, I am just saying there is plenty of blame to go around.

I get tired of people like Kirk that think things are so simple. He acts like the Big 3 are the only ones to blame in this mess. When I see there is much more to it than that.
