It is a 19:00 minute clip, but the flavor of it is we will not recover as a state until 2012.
There are days I thin that is optimistic.

It is very optimistic, the world is scheduled to end in 2012!
Me, too.
If a farmer sells his land he usually has to get rid of his cattle.
I believe the Nitro was killed by Chrysler.
Actually Nitro is a Dodge product. Othewise, I’m not sure what you mean (as its already out).
< snip > Chrysler plans to stop production of the PT Cruiser, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The paper reported Friday that the automaker will drop the line after the 2009 model year. The move comes as Chrysler executives consider killing slower-selling models to help the company return to profitability.
Chrysler had said earlier this month that it would eliminate the PT Cruiser convertible. The company is also halting production of the Dodge Magnum, Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler Crossfire.
By the end of the 2009 model year, the PT Cruiser will have enjoyed an extraordinary run. Introduced in 2000, the PT Cruiser was initially a hot property. Dealers were charging customers steep premiums over the car's low sticker price.
Since then, the PT Cruiser has had only a mild redesign, the 2006 model. This means that Chrysler will have been selling virtually the same car, with only minor alterations, for twice as long as most car models go before being completely redesigned and reengineered.
Although the PT Cruiser is still the fifth-most popular compact crossover in America, just behind the Chevrolet HHR, overall sales are down 27 percent this year, according to the Power Information Network.
Cruiser sales are on track to top 100,000 this year, a sales pace sufficient to justify its continued production, at least for now, Chrysler spokesman Rick Deneau said. < /snip >
