Fleecing of America                                            Jim Bernardi
Another traumatic article regarding our troubled industry; GM had nearly
$500 billion in total debt. Our Nation doesn't have access to enough
funding to make a real difference. We are throwing good money after
bad. I'm not too sure, but I am speculating that GM needs a managed
bankruptcy to have the courts sever contractual obligations to the point
things are manageable. Throwing more tax payer money into the mess
is simply throwing money down an empty pit - never to be seen again.

that we already know. Not true.

Dealer Suicide                                                                     Nancy Phillips
We all know what is happening to our industry today is life threatening -
but few of us have taken that in its literal sense. As the person that
Dealers come to when they need to sell their dealerships, I know only
too well that this industry takes its toll in many ways - financial ruin is
but one and sadly, horribly, suicide is sometimes another.
