They've all lost foreign markets, no one wants American cars (usually not even made in America) so they'll bribe our government so we have to buy them.

The wealthy can afford luxury imports.

The problem is the whole bailout culture, if existing companies can't fail, new ones can't replace them. Innovaters are forced out or bought up and diluted.

And eventually that means they can't compete with foreign companies who weren't hamstrung like this.

    The silverado was made in London, ON for a while. So was the Geo Metro, which was a japanese car with an american nameplate being built in canada.

    I had an F150 made in Kansas city, and I wondered how much of it was manufactured outside of the US.
