I have been told for several years that the goal of G.M. and Ford was to break the unions and release themselves from the burden of having to pay employee benefits. Interestingly, G.M. was posting record profits last year worldwide. I don't know about Ford but it would seem with some retooling to use a common chassis (gee, like Toyota) and maybe moving to natural gas (or who knows? natural gas/plug-in hybrid) the market share could be recaptured and at the same time free ourselves from the root cause of alot of our trade deficit/foreign debt. So, perhaps looking down the pipeline of either corporation would tell us what the future holds for either as a good solid investment.
