1. 1980. Kind of ironic isn't it?
UAW membership peaked at about 1.5 million members in 1979, and today there are just under 500,000. 40 years of steady decline yet Carter, Reagan, Bush1, Clinton and Bush2 did nothing about it. Now the whole mess is about to fall into Obama's lap.

3. And to Think The Asian Carmakers are in Favor of the Big 3 Loans
proves how integrated the industry is today.

We've come a long way, baby.

Fun to watch. It was SO different then compared to what we face today.
