Would it not be ironic if, after the auto bailout, the American car companies went all-out on building small, quality, gas-sipping econo-boxes and nobody would buy them because gas became “cheap” again ?
After all, they only built larger cars because people WERE buying them until the price of gas sky-rocketed. And it WAS the last administration that de-nutted the fuel economy standards so there was no incentive to “go green”.
How many foreign companies do we need to give corporate hand-outs to….to build factories in OUR country…on OUR DIME, to compete against OUR industry ?
When is enough, enough ?
Where do we draw the line ?
I say no more freebies to entice any more foreign car companies that end with the letter “A” or “I”.
And if you DO want to sell your goods here, they have to live up to the same non-toxic standards as the American companies and can’t be built in sweat-shops or with child labor.
