Doesn't make sense to me.

In short....yes. Protecting and supporting our own is more important than anything else in this country, imo. Not enough have sight of this....
They did NOT miss, because anyone who's got some stake in this country is suffering. GM is changing, and reacting. Those plants and jobs you mentioned are evidence of that, as unfortunate as it is. And is this not more of a reason to assist them?
And did I say bailed out? Did I say foriegn companies, or imported VEHICLES...?
I was specific in my wording for a reason.
Would you mind explaining your reasoning
against supporting our own? Would you sell out all our jobs to foriegn entities? I can tell you that those foriegn companies aren't building plants and jobs here out of a good spirit towards the states. Hence my comment about the playing field.
