Neal, <br> What a minute! Now you’re falling for the propaganda. <br> <br> Ford, like GM has had a presents in South America for the last 75 years or so. Brazil has always had a protectionist market; the tariffs were/are so high imports are very costly. Ford, like GM, like VW and other companies built plants down there to sell in the market and it has worked out for them very well. <br> <br> It gets frustrating for a number of us who know what’s going on daily, not listening to the ‘experts’ or the media. I don’t like the UAW at all, I seen the inner workings of a few locals and have too many family members in the UAW but they are 15% of the real problem and the idea that they were the reason for the problems is just wrong. <br> <br> The real problem is simple; the American auto manufactures have no product that the American consumer wants to buy. It has little to do with the actual cost of the workers and the cost of the anything else for that matter. The UAW does not prevent them from designing a car for the market that people want to buy, the management does. One thing that no one really understands is that if they get this money, there is nothing to retool to, they don’t have a product in the pipeline to retool for that will sell. <br> <br> There are a number of things they can do first before asking for a dime of tax money but arrogance rules at the top.
