Considering that the foreign automakers have plants in America, such as Toyota, wouldn't increased sales lead to more jobs for American plant workers?


Not according to MEM. He said that the only way to save the US auto industry was to bail out GM and Chrysler. We're just following his lead.

Really? Let's look at how MEM originally framed the debate:

If it's a case of a bailout that saves the our country's auto making industry & they go on & be sucessful again I think it's worth it.

Yeah the foreign auto companies were smarter but is it in our best interest not helping our country's auto makers because they messed up?


Your whole point was that I said that the only way to save the auto industry was the bailouts. You posted two quotes that have nothing about the bailouts being the only way to save the auto industry. Maybe your "logic" works better on the Free Republic boards? Needless to say, the clash for clunkers program does have a beneficial effect for our auto industry.
