- The Economy has CHANGED...
Duh
The US Car industry will NEVER ever be the same.Duh!?
- Am I saying something that is in a foreign language?
- Am I saying something in some un-comprehensive sentence structure that isn't understandable?
- We need to preserve the manufacturing jobs and expertise of all of the associated trades involved in the creation and manufacture of automobiles in our country.
- Our Country will NEVER ever again support the purchase of five to ten million new cars per year in our country.
Duh
Let me repeat that. (in bigger PRINT!)
Our Country will NEVER ever again support the purchase of five to ten million new cars per year in our country.
I re-peat... I re-peat...,I re-peat... We can never ever expect "Detroit" to become profitable on the old terms.We MUST not allow the anti "BUY out/public money" backlash to prevent investing in
the CRITICAL asset of manufacturing in our country.
We need to invest ENOUGH money to STOP these companies from laying off EVERY one of their employees.
We need to invest ENOUGH money to get them to START to use their engineers to START building public (mass/heavy/light) rail transit projects.
We need to get the auto companies to accept a PRE-PACKAGED bankruptcy. THIS will allow all parties (dealers, workers, bankers) to EQUALLY share in the pain of the needed reductions.
GM has been estimated to have about 7,000 dealers in the US.
They need to reduce this to ONE GM dealership serving a (perhaps) 35 square mile area (who is able to sell all GM), and put 6,000 dealer networks Into new businesses.
Yes, this will also hurt the local populations, however this will eventually lead to new opportunities for the local networks (local rail installations, etc!)
Again, we MUST put money into these companies and NOT fire the workers but Push (SHOVE) them into the transportation business.
