The Big Three's dramatic U-turn - CBS News

A case in point to my last post, American carmakers seem to be getting back on their feet. Part of it is finally learning the lessons they should have learned during the 1970s and 1980s. Another part of it is workers settling for half the old pay and yet another of just overall doing things better.

I totally understand taking what you can get to keep a job, but this has been going on for years. At some point - and let's not remember Henry Ford was smart enough to realize this - you have to pay people enough to actually buy the stuff they are making.

And seriously, shouldn't this country be *at least* as smart as Henry Ford?
