after 911
Ford, GM & Chrysler ----
INTERESTING....maybe the country should consider bailing them out to some
degree
Nothing needs to be said.. Ford, Chrysler and GM's contributions after 9/11
An interesting commentary...You might find this of interest:
'CNN Headline News did a short news listing regarding Ford and GM's
contributions to the relief and recovery efforts in New York and Washington
.
The findings are as follows.....

Whenever the time may be for you to purchase or lease a new vehicle, keep
this information in mind. You might want to give more consideration to a car
manufactured by an American-owned and / or American based company. Apart
from Hyundai and Volkswagen, the foreign car companies contributed nothing
at all to the citizens of the United States ... It's OK for these companies
to take money out of this country, but it is apparently not acceptable to
return some in a time of crisis. I believe we should not forget things like
this. Say thank you in a way that gets their attention...
