Från Times Online:
Ford Motor Company plunged to a full-year loss of $14.6 billion (£10.2 billion) for 2008 — the worst annual performance in its 105-year history — but the second-biggest American carmaker insisted that it did not need a government bailout.

William Clay Ford Jr, the company chairman, insisted this month that the carmaker would not take taxypayers' cash "unless the world implodes".
Artikeln innehåller även en passage gällande hur oreglerat fritt ekonomin fungerat tidigare:
The company also said that it had reached an agreement with the United Autoworkers union to end the "jobs bank" in which workers are paid even when there is no employment for them.
Fords agerande går för övrigt direkt i Henry Fords fotspår:
Let them fail; let everybody fail! I made my fortune when I had nothing to start with, by myself and my own ideas. Let other people do the same thing. If I lose everything in the collapse of our financial structure, I will start in at the beginning and build it up again.
