GM has repeatedly downsized (labor not management) since Moore's movie and yet GM still faces bankruptcy. So how exactly was downsizing the answer? GM is not causing the depression of 2009, your hero Bush is. The current credit crisis which the Bush Admin has still failed to address is the immediate cause of GM's problems - the longer term cause is GM's management who are idiots -- who just 2 yrs ago were saying customers don't care of the price of gas and yet are paid 4-5 times more than their toyota counterparts. I could care less about Moore's economic opinions but willy's paragraph is nonsensical. If anything there's something to Moore's basic argument that the destruction of the middle class in the US under republican ideology is a prime cause of economic problems. Willy got absolutely everything he could have asked for under Bush and yet he's trying to blame the resulting recession on michael moore?
