75% of Ford's problems stem from Japan leadership
they have monetized their dead bank system
the end result is much cheaper JYen currency
instead of heavy losses with bank investors
they have heavy losses to their entire standard of living
and a debased currency to assist in generating business
which means cheaper Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, Yamahas

they have exported their deflation, cut into US competitor's profit margins

and not a single objection placed by US Prez or Cabinet
poor Bill Siedman (former FDIC head) has almost given up on Japan
they havent followed thru on his suggestions and advice
they may seem to try, but they cannot get out of their pattern
publicly fund dead banks, publicly fund dead arms of their conglomerates, publicly fund needless roads, publicly fund heavy farm subsidies
this Japan is gonna revert to a very poor depleted country and society
too proud to heal itself, sad
and US competitors to Japanese products will suffer for another couple years
it wont go away
automobiles, consumer electronics, etc

I am waiting for Toyota pickup truck prices to come down
