BMW's middle management has reportedly become rather too unwieldy and independent for the executives' liking, so the ranks are being thinned in the context of a general cost-cutting drive.]]>Mar 10th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/bmw-to-increase-u-s-production-in-2012-while-cutting-jobs-in-ge/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/bmw-to-increase-u-s-production-in-2012-while-cutting-jobs-in-ge/

Once the idiot leaves the whitehouse, and this war ends (we're no longer pissing money away) the national debt will stabilize and eventually start declining (again).

I remember in the recession of the Bush Sr. administration, it took about three years for the fallout to hit Japan. By moving these plants here and putting so many people out of work in their home countries, it won't take as long this time.

A couple of other points:

1). The U.S.economy as slow as it is, the returns for their "investments" may be a long time coming.

20. With the domestics are raising their game, the pickings will not be as easy as it used to be.]]>Mar 10th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/bmw-to-increase-u-s-production-in-2012-while-cutting-jobs-in-ge/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/bmw-to-increase-u-s-production-in-2012-while-cutting-jobs-in-ge/
But yeah the dollar won't keep sinking - at some point as some commenters had mentioned the US just becomes cheaper and everything will bounce back to equillibrium...

The domestics aren't raising their game that much, and people still want BMW > Big 3. As long as someone has the dockets in their bank account, they'll continue to pick BMW > Big 3. Their sales will continue to go up, domestic will continue to go down. Mark my words and deal with it.]]>Mar 10th 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/bmw-to-increase-u-s-production-in-2012-while-cutting-jobs-in-ge/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/10/bmw-to-increase-u-s-production-in-2012-while-cutting-jobs-in-ge/
To say that Ford and GM are not improving, Especially GM, tells me a couple of things. Either you don't know what you are talking about, or you're a dishonest person.

1 Trillion dollars and counting is a lot of money to piss away. If the next president just ends the war it would be a start.]]>Mar 10th 2008 3:03PM
