Yes, they have made bad decisions. But the bottom line is the jobs and most of the money stay here. I rarely see an imported car around here. I see at least 4 G8's & 2 Camaro's every day on my 20 mile drive to work. Macomb County (where our shop is) has the most domestic cars owned per household than anywhere in the country.
I don't even know what my exact point is, but I have seen enough of my friends and families lives negatively affected by layoffs and plant closings to know that saving the US automakers is not a bad thing.

Yeah that is one of the biggest things I notice when I go up to MI to visit famaily. You step off the airplane in MI and it is demistic cars as far as the eye can see. Then I come back to FL step off the airplane and have to search out the American cars. Like you not sure what my point is here eaither. Guess I can just relate like you can. Makes me feel good to see the American cars up there.
