It's amazing how badly our elected officials treated carmakers! These companies created employment for ove a million employees directly and millions more indirectly, they ran amazingly efficient operations that gave personal mobility to almost everybody at amazingly low cost while providing exceptionally generous salaries and benefits for their workers.

They were constantly demonized, threatened, badgered and regulated to death. No wonder they were gun shy!
