The three largest manufacturers of cars in the USA have asked the Government to help them with 25 million of dollars.
That is imprudence!
I have one friend who delivers cars from the USA to Europe. He told me that nearly one month all ports of Europe are full of ships, which deliver cars from the USA. The huge turns on uploading the cars are in the ports. Everybody now buy cars from the USA, this is because dollar is cheaper than euro, that's why to buy american cars is more profitable, than from European dealers. And this lasts not only one week, but a lot of months.
It turns that the leaders of the American firms, who manufacture the cars have the huge profit and spend it so quickly that they have no money for reorganization their factories.
Also there can be another variant - their business is going well but on the quiet they decided why not to receive the help from the government? If all people tell about the economic crisis why not to take advantage of this situation?
We can't know what these leaders have in their heads. I think that having dismissed thousands of people they will forget to reduce own salaries, may be who doesn't agree already works without salary? This is very interesting question!
