On Sunday May 24th, the CBC's The passionate eye 10:00PM eastern, they are doing a story about the US's heavy debt and how will it survive or if it will ened up like Russia did, broke. On another topic, the auto industry, I have been hearing on the news both the US and the Canadians stations, that people are very angry that THEIR car dealers are closing and they are swearing, they will never buy another Chrysler, or GM car again. So when the leaders are telling people to go out and buy a new car, I only see them eithr, not buying or turning to the Japanese or korean makers!! So is future of the "BIG 3" Honda, Toyota and Hyundia??? and will Ford survive without help?
