I think you're correct, and it's led to some complications in getting a solution to the situation. It's also been a distraction from the real problem here, which is that the financial markets are really the core problem of where we're at today. It's not the men and women who are making the vehicles, whether they be in Woodstock or Windsor. It's not their fault. I worry about the fact that if we continue to erode their base, it defeats the whole purpose of economic stimuli, because when you look at Windsor now, we have lost another shift; or if you look at Woodstock, if you have to cut two or three dollars off their wages, or something like that, they'll no longer be able to contribute to the local economies, which is necessary to maintain the systems that we're trying to sustain right now by doing this massive borrowing. I find that particularly difficult to deal with.
