"The problem is the global economy...When you look at what you have to do to compete we (America) just can’t. In China they have people working eighteen hours a day seven days a week for nickels, and if you don’t like it, fine, you are out of here and we will get somebody else to do it. There is just no way to make that work in America. We have to find a way to fit in to the global economy."

- John Griffin, The Crowell Group, discussing the General Motors (GM) layoff where GM is cutting 30,000 jobs across the US by 2008.
