Let's face it USA you people got greedy and now your economy is in the dumps and there's no turning back now and you need others to take over the messes that you've made.
You think your economy isn't dependent on the U.S.? Not often I see a poster who has such dislike for America. Millions of American's gave their lives so that people like you can speak as you do.
No we don't depend on the US! Lol we're a self sufficient country that doesn't need to constantly start wars and kill people to get what we want and need!
For some reason Americans think their country is the biggest in the world and holds power, sad fact is that's a myth.

I'm not in anyway bashing the states at all, I'm just seeing that this might be a wake up call.
The biggest industry of building vehicles that you guys had is lost, its good to see Europe bailing you guys out and financing things.

To be correct, a few at the top got greedy and the American working class got the shaft.
When I retired in 2006 my boss was told if he replaced me, it had to be with someone not from the USA. I was making 100k+, and they wanted someone for 20k that knew the tech side but understood nothing about the business side of the bank networks that I designed and coordinated the installation of.
The greed is at the top, but some will try to make you think it is with the workers.
This is a RV forum and these RV's were all purchased with decent family supporting wages.
Good luck to the next generation.

Couldn't agree more Chris. Comparing my parent's generation to mine is scary enough; I was one of 7 children with a stay-at-home Mom and a blue-collar Dad yet we had RVs, boats, we ate out, we had big Christmases, etc.
Fast-forward to today, my girlfriend and I both work full-time, we have 2 young kids, and we struggle just to keep up with life's bills and are currently saving and sacrifing other luxuries for an RV fund.

Ford has never needed federal guarantees or cash infusions. My question is very fair. Since Chrysler is now 100 owned by Fiat, an Italian Corporation, will the US still be called upon should Chrysler need bailing out a third time?bigdogger wrote:
When Chrysler goes under for the third time, will it fall to the Italian government to bail them out, or will the US have to step in again?
So here is a history lesson for you.
1, The UAW or more correctly the employee pension fund was used to keep Chrysler afloat the first time. The only involvement the US Government had was in backing or guaranteeing the pension fund would be repaided.
2, Chrysler nor GMC wanted to go through bankruptcy, that was mandated by three Republicans. The only reason we needed to ask for LOANS was because the Bankers would not refinance our (Chrysler & GM) loans. Ford was able to refinance only after the Ford Family put up eveything they owned.
Give this BS a rest already.
