Over 500,000 lost their jobs in the USA in November alone.

I know we are all suffering the credit crunch and that ther are more of you over there than here. But still, half a million in one month. YIKES!!!

I do have a Universal love and concern fro everyone. Polticians should be for people and the stability of their nation first.

No end in sight yet, despute the billions. Hope it turns around and hope you are all alright. Would like to know how you are all doing and who is getting caught up with it. Nows the time to reach out and network and work together. Find solutions as a community. Not feeling ashamed or embarrased and isolated in your troubles. Despite differences lest keep praying for each other and caring.

Quoting DynaThom:

Well, as someone who has owned over 75 cars over the last 50 years (yes I got my first car before I got my driver's license) (first motorcycle 2 years before that) about 95% of them have all been American Iron. I don't want to see ANY car companies fail - but I do believe that American Workers in GM-Ford-Mopar Plants CAN build cars that are just as good, and competitively priced, as those that American Workers down in Tennessee are building for Honda and Toyota.

HD has survived a lot - I expect them to survive this too.

My first car was Ford Escort Popular - probably nt made for America as small for England.

Anyone could break into a Ford car as everyone else's key fit the lock. Even their house key sometimes.

Learners car. Learnt my basic mechanics on - when car mechanics was mechanics not computers.

Next Mini - I now have a vengeful feelings whenever I see a mini. Give me a crusher a few dozen minis a I might work out my deep frustrations about that car.

Next Nissan Micra Top of small car range and great.

But feel you have to look after your National Car Manufacturers. Once they are gone, they are gone. Cannot even be part of finding answers to the next generation and solutions to mobility with less oil unless you have a manufacturer behind findign these ideas.

Investing in Commerce is more than just product and profit it is about who is in charge of the next generation and the way the world goes.

The west not whiter than white or innocent. But has the ideal of values even if it does not practice them always.

Investment in the Car manufactuere is not just investment in cars but in innovation and it is ideas that will take us forward. Not selling out the country in a yard sale

Have you got lots of silly jobs in Public Office and govt being created? and millions beign found for investigations into investigations? and another committee?

Always money found when its jobs for the boys.

If I hear another "Learning Curve" and "Lessons to eb Learned " about the sky being blue and the grass being green I'll scream.

Well I do think of you even though i am miles away. We have been going on about the odd few hundred here and few thousands there. Unemployed 3 million. So 500,000 losing jobs in US in Nov and 10million unemployed in Us kinda puts it in another perspective.

Don't ask about politicians they are not helping. Believe in people. believe in the small economy and local commerce. Buy local. Keep your local economy going.

3 Major US car manufacturers may go under. Don't know how HD will do.

Keep safe.
