3. My old manager from twenty years ago told me that as go the big....

...auto manufacturers, so goes the national economy. When the big guys start laying off, that's when you know that things are going very wrong.

And it's not just the jobs lost at GM and Ford, it's also the thousands of smaller companies that do work for GM and Ford, and the companies overseas that supply parts and electronics.

Can you say "ripple-effect"?
