"We agree completely that there must be accountability to U.S. taxpayers for government support that enables automakers to continue their restructuring and to ensure a stronger, more competitive auto industry." For its part, Ford, which is the strongest of the Big Three and, many believe, capable of surviving the fallout from a GM bankruptcy, said, "We have a great plan that will continue Ford's transformation into a lean, profitable company that delivers the safe, fuel-efficient, high-quality new products that our customers want...
