The US car industry

Do the math, for every car GM produces, $1500.00 of that car sale is for health insurance and retirement. For every car Toyota produces, $100.00 of that car sale is for health insurance and retirement. So, what is GM doing wrong? UAW. The union has driven these big three into the ground. At one time, unions were needed. They are now a thing of the past but still drain the pockets of the very company that pays their way. Personally, they should be left to fail. History shows that something better comes along to fill the void. We would be throwing good money after bad in this instance.
