I've been writing about the auto business for half a century, and I know it is wrong to build the old with the new. Perhaps it is time to give in and shut more capacity, even if it means putting more workers on what amounts to lifetime pensions.

Uh, are you dense? Those people producing cars that won't sell would still be getting paid. Thus, GM would have less product sitting on dealer lots not being sold, saving them money. Those workers would still be getting paid (for doing nothing). How does this hurt the economy?
