WTF? So you're using an updated article from 2010, two years ago? Scared to find anything more recent? Nevahmind...Didja know the 30k jobs you cited were also from Ford? Who didn't get a bailout???
From your article:
Ford announced a restructuring plan it called "The Way Forward" that involved shedding 30,000 hourly jobs and 14,000 salaried workers
The article also has glowing praise for the auto industry. Example:
By the spring of 2010 the entire automotive industry was on the rebound, and G.M. said it expected to return to profitability for the year. By the summer, G.M, which had already repaid a $6.7 billion loan, was talking about going public in the fourth quarter, a move that would give the government a way to slowly sell its majority stake in the company's stock. The first models of the all-electric Volt also began rolling off the production line.
But you didn't need to include that in your wholesale dismissal of the entire American auto companies, didja?
Just why do you hate American auto workers so much? Are you Japanese or something?
