These guys are supposed to be industry heroes. Boy did they screw up: compare to their competitors in Europe (start with Volkswagen) and Japan, both whom have or are planning factories in the US. That's not what Rand predicted. And government isn't driving the remnants into the ground, it's stepping in to preserve/rebuild remnants of a once valuable asset. Rand didn't predict that either. No doubt some will say that government was involved in the train-wreck to make it fit "Atlas Shrugged" better but on that basis you can claim that "Little Red Riding Hood" also predicts current events if you recast everything to make it fit.

I'll freely admit that even Rand would be disappointed by the auto leaders. No argument whatsoever.
