I might ... agree with this (GM & Chryco too). It's time the
government figured out the cost/benefits of having the US design and
assemble it's own vehicles. US workers are too valuable to spend
their time screwing nuts onto studs. The US should be computerizing
the world that's where the money is at the moment.

Focus on the future, allow the past to die (or at least move to
China/Mexico). Subsidize the future, not the past.
