The idiots in DC think the American people can't make the right decisions so they have to do the big thinking for us.<BR/><BR/>On a side note… I gave you some link love on my latest post.

"Americans won't buy small cars, that is why we made Hummers, etc."<BR/>Meanwhile, Toyota and Honda and Nissan had their business expand building...wait for it...small cars.<BR/>They deserve to fail because they failed us. Don't blame the unions, don't blame anyone but the top execs who continually made bad decision after bad decision. <BR/><BR/>Chrysler had a winner with the PT Cruiser. Everyone loved the design. I saw people at car shows, real car people, who admired workmanship and custom rods, just crowd around a PT. Chrysler then continued to make them junky, almost disposable, rather than quality. Now, they can't be given away.Da Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529514518271981093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-58810920682781904692008-12-22T10:30:00.000-06:002008-12-22T10:30:00.000-06:00Hawg,I think Bush is somewhat concerned about his ...Hawg,<BR/><BR/>I think Bush is somewhat concerned about his legacy, and believes a failed auto industry could affect that, being there may be a domino effect of job losses and less gross domestic product. So he went with a short term solution.<BR/><BR/>As for me, I am not a car man. But during this auto bailout, I have learned a lot. And like you, I now plan to "vote" by not buying an American made vehicle any time soon. Our next purchase will be another mini-van, and it will be a Honda or Toyota. <BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!Paul Eilershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443012393151401891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-10813892175425811602008-12-22T01:34:00.000-06:002008-12-22T01:34:00.000-06:00It is simply deplorable how this American Presiden...It is simply deplorable how this American President gets his way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
