Those of you who live in Michigan know what the economy is here right now. .... We don't need future planning, we need the solve the problems now.
I don't mean to be harsh to you Beth, I know how much you put into FIRST, but it is exactly that line of reasoning that has GM/Delphi and the rest of the Detroit auto industry in the situation it is currently in. Because of our situation we MUST invest in FIRST. It is the only program I can see that is putting the focus we need on innovation.
