Ford’s Sales Down 48 Percent





Tom Krisher, AP Auto Writer

Ford Motor Co. says its U.S. sales fell 48 percent in February, proof that huge rebates and low-interest financing aren’t enough to entice fearful consumers to make a major purchase

The Dearborn, Mich., automaker sold 99,060 vehicles last month, compared with 192,248 the same month in 2008. Other automakers report their sales later Tuesday

My comment: We have too many cars, houses, nail salons, Applebees, strip malls, Home Depots, sub shops etc…already. Peoples standard of living has to return to the mean. That will mean a drastic shrinkage in all of these businesses. I think we can start using the depression word now.
