So would you buy a new GM truck now?

I dont think its wise to buy cars ON LOAN anyways... Actually its the worst thing to do: If you happen to crash your car into a tree, the loan will stick around much longer than the car will.... Worst thing is that youï½´re going to need to buy a new car too....

I agree with you. Credits cards can apell trouble if misused. Now as the the car/tree scenario, that is why it has to be insured.


Not all are fortuante enough to have $30-40K in their car account.

Many people are driving $30-40K cars and trucks that need to be driving '88 Ford Escorts(no ac and no power steering) ----They are living above their means---which brings me to the Union---NonUnion debate!!!!! What is a fair livable wage---Back in the day my father was the bread winner---this day in time both parents have to work full time to stay up with the necessity's of life(central air/heat,3 cars and garage for each,colored tv/stereo, dishwasher,boat, tractor with FEL,eating out 5-8 times a week,daycare and paying someone to grow your food and mow your grass) ---some have to borrow against tomorrows wages to stay up with the JONES'---cause OUR children are spoiled and they want this and that!!!---apples usually don't fall far from the tree in which they come!!!
Most of those nonunion car MFG's have both parents working on their assembly line($18 x 2 = $36)---who is raising the kids ----the TV????
What is an acceptable standard of living---I think that is what all this debate is about----some want the other guy to live for less so they can do less and have more------I drive GM,Ford,and Dodge trucks cause I want TOO!!!----What happens when I want too but I can't cause they ain't here anymore---Send the Japs & Koreans all the rice they want just not our money!!!! Read the history books if you don't understand this statement!!!! WAR IS ****!!!!
RECKON they will send us some money to rebuild our country??????

Remember when?? I like the statement " who's raising our kids? " thats excatly whats wrong ... we no longer value good old value.

The CAW/UAW need to wake up and smell the coffee. Why should they be paid more than the non-union guys at Honda etc?? Take the roll back effective Jan 1 09, or run the risk of MAJOR downsizing due to Chapter 11, which means some of these guys could be working at a Wal-Mart near you.

Folks, I know we're all interested in what's going on with the country's economy, but please remember that politics and religion are prohibited topics on Tractorbynet. Yes, they're both important topics, but there are other websites for those topics.
