Governemtn Intrustion
Intrusion is sometimes necessary, but best avoided if possible.
Ford may be in a superior position to GM/Chrysler, but that does not detract from the fact that their SMT over the 90's and 2000's pi55ed $$billions down the toilet on their completely dumb-ass Ford Premier Automotive Empire, instead of addressing the core problems within the company so they would be in a better position to take on Toyota, Honda and Nissan. The Ford business re-engineering, now well under way, is about 15 years late IMHO. If they had started it in the 90's shaking out waste, bad practice, poor quality etc they would be a global rival to Toyota and VW and their peers.
Ford are between 5th and 8th largest manufacturer (depending on where you look) after Toyota, VW, GM, Hyundai/Kia, Honda and around the same as Peugoet/Citrown, Nissan and Suzuki
