I remember when I was a kid there was a cartoon chararacter in Li'l
Abner named "General Bullmoose". He used to be fond of saying things
like, "What's good for General Bullmoose is good for the USA". General
Bullmoose, of course, was a fictitious name for General Motors. In
those days GM was the largest corporation in the U.S. Now our largest
corporation is Exxon Mobil, a corporation whos future is based on a
non-renewable resource.

So, what's wrong with GM? Obviously they have a problem with high
labor prices. They also have a problem with health care costs. As I
recall, health care for the retirees actually costs GM more than the
steel that goes into their automobiles.

What else is wrong with GM? For that matter, what's wrong with the
U.S.A?

They lost the sense of competition. The eighties were a little late to
discover that quality was good and the supply chain is worth attention.
Lost market share became a fact, but the retirees of those good ol' days
were in the pipeline.
