Default Ford looses $5.8 Billion last quarter.
It's freaking amazing a company can loose money of that magnitude and still operate. Padded executive retirement accounts anyone?

Offering some of their union workers "retirement packages" is one way I've heard of them cutting back.

They make decent vehicles, so this is purely poor management. Time to trim the excess fat...

That's an outrageous amount of money, even for that big of a company.

People dont realize that people up there are making 30 to 35 dollars an hour installing Steering Wheels and putting in windshields. That also does not include the FULL benefits these guys make. ******* retarded.
