You left out GM. Why do I think they are loosing billions a year. Simple answer is pensions. They do not necessarily make shitty products. Matter of fact the only trucks we will buy are fords. Back to pensions though, it is damn hard for the big three automakers to compete on a global scale when so much money goes into pension plans. Specially when the majority of companies worldwide bear no such costs.

Only in one way do I blame Bush for that. He never really asked Americans to make any sort of sacrifice and asked the people to conserve gas during a war time administration. Not sure if this has anything to do with his oil buddies though.

Alas that would not help. Our educational system sucks. It will also continue to suck and we will fall further and further behind in the world as a country just producing cash register jockeys as a general workforce.
This element though can and should be blamed on many factors both republican and democrat. (flame suit on) The public school system needs to be abolished and the teachers union needs to be thrown or phased out.
