Maybe that is what it will take for the public to understand the impact the Big 3 have on the economy when all of the suppliers layoff workers in reaction to GM delaying/stopping all orders and initial unemployment claims jump through the roof.

The "Big 3" have to do something along those lines anyway to save money and reduce inventories.


In support of your idea - will you be taking unpaid leave (or vacation time) from your job from December 1, 2008 - January 20, 2009?
