Ford will win this war by cutting their labor costs by a third

How do you think they are going to pull that off? And even if they do, I don't think a third will be enough.

Like GM, Ford is probably putting $30 an hour into labor and $70 an hour into benefits.

Anyone in our area who got an offer for 20 and hour job with 40 an hour benefits would climb Everest to get that job.

Ford doesn't need to move overseas....it needs to move to low-wage America.
