This was bound to happen.... Many dealerships will be closing over the next year, even with the bail out money.

My opionion always has been that the government should have stayed out of it. And just let the Auto companies go through what they are going to go through anyways....

As for the Unions, Yes they deserve some blame, that is for sure, but they are not the total cause....We as consumers who kept paying the out of control prices deserve some blame too.... Peoples cars have become a extension of them selves, and the auto companies, thrieved by make things more plush... which drived the prices, up and the profits, as people kept buying more and more expensive vehicles.... the Unions reacted by wanted more for there union members.... so it is a vicious circle.... what is injust is that now the profits aren't there the unions seem to be of the opinion they would rather see there members out of work then take a pay/benefit cut....
