Well, that guy is obviously biased towards the foreign-econobox and thinks that by getting rid of protective tarrifs and such he can upgrade his BMW 3series to a 5series or something because it will be cheaper.
I think govt. should just stay out of business except when necessary.
The hard part is knowing where to draw the line between staying out of business and allowing free global competition and bailing out BIG business because not to do so would have too big of an impact on the overall economy. (like helping out airlines after 9/11)
