- I won't have to blog about the Detroit automakers again until next year
- Congratulations, fellow American, you and I are now part-owners or at least managers in absentia of two of the most crippled manufacturing companies on earth--that being General Motors and Chrysler. Should we urge a merge? How many more billions of dollars will we fork over before this nightmare...

- Dashboard warning lights aglow: Detroit low on fuel and oil pressure
- The odds of the Detroit Shrinking Three automakers getting any kind of federal loan help this year are getting slimmer. Now comes word that even the robust popularity of a sitting President I jest can sway members of his own party to get the proposed auto loans through the...

- Auto industry moves into passing lane...maybe
- Nothing is certain if you're watching the Detroit drama. Will they, won't they? Our lame duck Congress does not yet know its own will on this one. There is expected to be some bill offrinhg auto makers a loan drafted by tomorrow. Not even the usually...

- Detroit may get some money
- There're hints the White House and Congress may compromise on a $14 billion loan package for the fainting auto makers in Detroit. That would be enough that the current President can say he saved the auto firms on his watch. Chrysler and GM would continue to move on...

- American auto industry low on fuel and popular support
- After today's Senate hearings the Detroit Big Three are nowhere nearer getting any federal aid than they were after their last visit. Whatever you may think of the automakers "plan" to change and become viable, there is no plan in the Senate itself that would lead to a bill that...

- From private jets to car pool? Detroit may be getting the message.
- Nothing definite will happen concerning the Detroit Big Three automakers before December 2nd. But the saga of the sagging auto sales and the wilting industrial giants in Michigan is rich with plot points and maneuvering. Here are just a few of the things happening or being said: ...

- Detroit automakers have little to be thankful for
- But they do have a little time to pull their drumsticks out of the oven. Today the Democrats in Congress gave the U.S. auto industry until December 2nd to come up with a proposal acceptable to Congress and the current White House occupant. You gotta ask...

- Collision course for American-owned car makers
- America's auto makers were very handy in protecting themselves against having tougher fuel efficiency standards. Just this past year as fuel prices spiralled ever upward the feds finally increased the fuel efficiency standards after thirty years of stasis. So now those auto makers in America and elsewhere are...

- Give 'em the cash, forget fuel efficiency
- The chorus of disagreement in Washington over a measly 25-billion dollars is something to behold. For the record that's less than 4% of the money that's been earmarked by the federal government to save the banks, insurance companies, the mortgage mills and other big-spenders on Wall Street and their...

- Will General Motors go the way of Philco and Studebaker?
- The battle in Washington is on: what, if anything, to do for, or with, the big American auto makers. That's "big" as in "big trouble." And the battle's outcome may have a huge effect on what the fleet of American-driven cars looks like in three to five years....

- Feds to continue highway money flow. But mass transit?
- I recently blogged about the lower gasoline sales and lower federal revenue leading to a nearly broke Highway Trust Fund. The US government now finds that Trust Fund worthy of a bail-out, paltry next to the debts of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, tiny compared to the fed guarantees...

- The big auto show in Detroit is now open to reporters so the big announcements and the hoopla have begun. There are moves toward greener cars, and there are moves to just make more money. Sometimes these are in direct conflict. Here are a few of my...

- Detroit backs tighter emissions standards...

Detroit automakers are rallying their troops: factory workers, Congressmen who have car factories in their district, those who are afraid Detroit means it when they say higher emission standards will cost jobs.
