You guys are a riot!

You know, Ford isn't exactly healthy & setting the world on fire, either. They are hemmoraging money, too. They've lost billions in the last 4 or 5 consecutive quarters and are still in a lot of financial trouble. The only reason they are still afloat is because they were smart and they borrowed money before the credit markets froze up.

Ford wants government money, too. - BusinessWeek

Sorry to make you cry in your lucky charms, but hang on folks, Ford (Yes, FORD) is already taking government money. Taxpayer money IS going to FORD right now to help them develop new cars. It makes no difference if it's to stave off bankruptcy or to serve as a loan to develop the next government mandated electric car, Ford is on the dole, just like GM & Chrysler. So go on believing Ford is not in need of any welfare from the taxes you pay, but if you read the facts, you'll see it isn't true!!

US to loan $5.9 bln to Ford, $1.6 bln to Nissan - Yahoo! News-

Happy 4th of July everyone & remember to BUY AMERICAN!!!
