Anybody notice the similarity between Toyota's situation and the beginning of "Debt of Honour"?

That's one of my favorite Clancy novels...and yes, it is eerily familiar.

Seems sorta basic to me. If the goal were to give sales to GM and Chrysler, I would pass trade laws to cut off the supply of imported vehicles leaving a vacuum in the market for domestics to fill. Then I would seek to destroy Ford's reputation. This would open up millions of sales to GM and Chrysler, and only GM and Chrysler.
And what about the fact that Toyota has covered up this problem (and others), lied about its causes, and blamed its customers, and blamed its suppliers? What about the fact that Toyota has had more unintended acceleration incidents than everyone else combined? Couldn't that be enough cause for the government to take interest? Wasn't it a conflict of interest for congressmen who had 'transplants' in their state to hammer the domestics in late 2008?
