These modern-day bosses knew the company’s reputation for building high-quality autos was one of only two ingredients that had led them to becoming the number one car maker. But driven by greed, they chose to sacrifice quality. [...]
Wall Street’s top priority to completely defeat any and all efforts to force them back into the real world where the rest of the nation lives. To accomplish their mission they must convince the public that the problem with the economy and recovery lies in what Washington is doing to them. [...]
