Was this in April 2010 and are there going to be more layoffs?

Can you help with the grammar mistakes in this essay please?

Growing up in the suburbs of the Motor City, I have been embedded with a few simple rules. 1.Always cheer for the Red Wings! 2. Never go to Detroit at night and 3. Drive American. In the past, these rules have been pretty easy to follow. The Wings just won the cup, so how could I not cheer for them. I can’t navigate my to Detroit in the daytime so I’ll never make it at night and I can’t afford a new car so I’ll have to stick with my Ford. In the future, these rules might be a little harder to follow since the big three are in deep trouble. Most of Metro Detroit’s work force are employed by the Big Three so naturally, the numerous layoffs and buyouts have been a huge subject of local concern.
Michigan’s economy rides with the auto industry. Through hills and valleys, Michigan succeeds or suffers along with the Big Three. Since the auto industry, especially the Big Three, hasn’t been doing well, Michigan as taken a direct hit. The economy has taken a turn for the worst causing a shortage in jobs and a meltdown in the housing market. Its not hard for me to see the effect this has on my friends and family. Every time an auto maker announces another round of cuts, grim faces start to pop up all around the place. Its painful to watch the once proud community fade along with the car makers.
Although a government bailout would prevent the automakers from going into bankruptcy now, it would only delay the inevitable. The government should provide more funds and resources to allow for the Big Three to further develop hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles. Some might argue that a government bailout is unfair in a consumer driven market, but this is not the case. Having more auto makers only puts more pressure on the other to effectively research and produce alternative fuel vehicles. The overall result would be a vast amount of non-gasoline dependant vehicles manufactured at a cheaper price that would be more affordable for the average consumer.
Consumers will eventually see more options of lower priced hybrid vehicles if the government enacts assistance for the Big Three. Communities and families that are built and depend on the domestic automakers will also benefit greatly. Although a government bailout is not the most fair of things to do, it would restore a once joyful community in a small town called Canton.

thanks

I refinanced my house through Ocwen in 2002 just before a major surgery to help with cost that I knew I would incur during the no work time. They told me one thing on the phone and when it came to signing, the paper work was nothing like what they offered me on the phone, but at the time is was only one week before surgery so I went ahead and signed. Since then I struggled and finally last year I was able to pay off my 2nd mortgage and all credit cards. The only bill left was the mortgage, since I paid off my vehicle the year before. November of last year I was in a bad car accident that totaled my vehicle. After receiving the check from the insurance company I purchased a used 2008 Dodge Advenger for 15,000 with 6,500 down on a 36 month loan. (Trying to stay debt free). Well December comes in and on the 2nd I was informed that layoffs would begin that week and sure enough two days later I got the call not to come in. This was a big surprise, since my company received records profits just the quarter before. Anyway I feel really bad, but I just cannot handle the mortgage payments anymore and I have tried everything to get the mortgage company to do something. They say I do not make enough for them to be able to help me. I am currently spending three hundred every month more than I am bringing in. My savings is now gone and starting to use credit cards again. And at this point I have a good chance of getting a job outside of Michigan, but if I do get the Obama modification I have to stay here with no hope of a job. Things just look worse at my company each month.
Will I be able to keep the car even though there is some equity in it? And can I let the house go this way with no reprecussions? I feel bad, but I also feel they took advantage of me when I was in a bad situation. And I have had the house on the market for over three years with not even a glimmer of hope. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. For those who like to talk down about people that file bankruptcy I pray you never find yourself in this situation. Current situation:

House owed 99,500 value about 105,000
Car owed 7,000 value about 15,000 (kbb)
