The big 3 auto companies are dying
cjd:
In parts of the United States Ford and General Motors are still very strong. As said in my earlier post I would not buy a car that is produced by an offshore company. As a life long owner of Chrysler cars I was quite sad when Daimler took control of Chrysler Corporation. I will no longer buy cars from that company. Henry Ford for all his evil ways also did a great deal of good for the average man in America. Henry Ford and Walter Chrysler started out as average American workers Chrysler a locomotive mechanic for the railroad and Ford also came from humble beginnings. Ford made it possible for working people to own a car when it was something only the very rich could own. I now drive Ford cars and have over the years owned some used imports for a second car as well. My current Ford puts them all to shame it has over 200K on it and has never had a part replaced on it except for maintenance. Id like to see how many rice burners can match that.

The auto industry is a microcosm of the nation as a whole and we are letting it happen to ourselves.

You have it exactly right! It happened in the electronics companies in the 70s and 80s. And its now happening to the auto industry. America had some of the best electronics in the world made by American workers with pride. The industry shipped the work to Japan and other countries where the labor price was cheaper. Emerson Electronics had an enormous plant right in New Jersey not far from the Meadow Lands. Thousands of factory workers in that industry lost good paying jobs when many of the companies started producing off shore . Many of the companies are still in business however they produce nothing here in the USA any longer. Even Japans labor rates are too high and now quite a bit of this product is now being produced in China and other rice bowl countries.
The unfair edge the foreign car companies have is that American car companies were trying to pay their workers the good salaries, benefits and retirement Americans workers are accustom to. The foreign car companies have plants in this country however pay nothing close to what Ford, General Motors were paying and pay little benefits or retirement.
As less and less is produced here in this country what jobs will be available to average workers that don't require 70 hour work weeks to make a decent living. Why should we as Americans be bought down to third world levels in our standards of living.

There are only 2 big American auto companies, Chrysler is German.
Another Bush mistake by not helping them from the unfair competition.
Asia markets are closed to a lot of American goods but they can send all they want here.

The end of GM and Ford is coming soon. Intel is opening up a computer chip manufacturing plant in Vietnam. Vietnam is not well know for being a high wage payer or providing for a worker friendly paradise.
The American Car Companies have been saddled by affrimative action hiring, civil rights law suits, union corruption, all kinds of taxes, tariffs, sexaul harassment suits, extortions from the national association for the anniliation of white people and je$$e's rainbow push (people united to swindle humanity).
We had a Japanese teacher in college that was a big wig in toyota who told us to notice, the fact that where toyota builds its plants in America, they are in white areas where you had to look long and hard for blacks. They kept out the unions and were not hounded by affrimation action addicts. I am sure that this government will find a way to destroy toyota and any other company in the near future. By doing this, we have no manufacturing jobs in the USA unless you consider manufacturing hispanics and blacks turning out bastard, future warriors.
