0 Comments
Last Updated: 7:33 PM 03/02/10 - When Toyota President Akio Toyoda testified last week before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, an attitude was exposed that Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, correctly characterized as fostering a ‘‘cutthroat corporate’’ environment that placed costs ahead of quality and safety.

0 Comments

0 Comments
Last Updated: 7:33 PM 02/10/10 - At first it seemed like a great idea. President Barack Obama, fresh from good reviews for his appearance at the House Republican retreat two weeks ago, invited Republican leaders to Blair House in Washington for negotiations on a health insurance reform bill.
