This is so sad. However, our politicial leaders do not try and do nothing to prevent this from happening. Again, slash the prices on those cars, trucks, and people would buy them. Stop sending work overseas. Frankfort is the capital city of Kentucky and yet we have lost about 4 factories and Beshear is not the least bit worried or did not try to stop it, and is not trying to help these people, or trying to bring work here. A waste of government officials. Mitch and Beshear both need to resign
