No one ever bothers to point out that one reason foreign car companies are stomping Ford and GM's asses into the dirt is because their foreign employees are covered under generous national health-care systems, which allows them to sock more cash away or into R&D, and also allows them to pay their American employees well?

I've heard GM and Ford referred to as "pension companies that happen to turn out a few cars." Same idea...

Heh. Yeah, I've heard that one before. It's pretty true, too - the reason they're so swamped is precisely because our government didn't go as far as others did years ago.
