I will be known as somebody who saw a problem and put the chips on the table to prevent the economy from collapsing.
The time to make the hard decisions to become viable is now, or the only option will be bankruptcy.
Allowing the U.S. auto industry to collapse is not a responsible course of action.
This ship is a fitting tribute to a generation of men with whom my dad was privileged to serve.
