PC>   What do you mean ...not a backlog of retired workers?

PC>   In Japan they do.

Possibly but they don't pay nearly as well there and many
of the major Japanese cars are made here now so they have to
compete with benefits common for this country.

Keeps the economy rolling and makes things better for those
of us who don't fall into that trap..
Our family tends to be taught the value of frugality and
the power of compound interest early in life but, even in
our family, there are those who don't stop buying until their
credt cards are maxed out.. and then they HAVE to get 'frugal'
leaving them in the same position only paying this huge
interest bill every month as well..

I've seen the ads here. Do you know what they say ?
"We have money to finance your purchase!"..
Someone somewhere 'bailed them out'..
As I said, sales are down for everyone but the Japanese car
companies aren't hurting quite as bad because they were
ahead in sales before the credit crunch happened . But there's
a problem with people on the one hand saying, "If they can't
sell cars then let them go under!"..  while the dealers are
saying they have people with jobs lined up wanting to buy
their cars who can't get financing. There are problems with
the car companies but they can't be totally blamed for the
current situation. I could maybe see letting them go under
if they can't sell cars, but not because the purchasers can't
get car loans..
