Some recent history from this week's issue of The Economist.

Its funny......that Ford and GM where "cheerleeding" globalization at the beginning (but not so much now). So if globalization finishes off one or both of the auto makers they shouldn't complain.

Its funny how companies like GM, who behave like true capitalists when times are good quickly become corporate welfare a$$e$ when times go bad. GM recently asking the US government for help with its healthcare costs and even lobbying for "free universal" healthcare or putting out the notion that maybe Toyota, Nissan and Honda should up the price of their cars. If you do business in a capitalist free market economy and extol its virtues, then you should be prepared to be punished by the rules of the same free market economy.
