I am seeing some GREAT REPLIES>

I got to agree with Mkemse, give Obama Time,,, you cannot clean up 8 yrs of greed and stupidity in less than a month.

As for The Big Three (?) I say lend( repeat LEND) them the money, with two proviso's
1. Close down your overseas factories
2. Re-OPEN your Domestic Factories..

One of the biggest reasons for this economy is we outsourced all the factory Jobs for Cheaper Labor and less environmental standards.
If you want to stimulate an economy People have to have money to spend and to have money to spend You Need JOBS>

Also as far as Obama goes, tearing him apart now before he even takes
office to me is similar to complaining about a house being built nex tdoor to yours and only seeing the foundation and having no idea what the house will look like til it's done

I agree and we can not do that when jobs of all kinds are off shored, it is not possble, we have to keep american jobs here in the United States

Let's not critisize "ideas" or "Ideologies" critisize what actualy is or is not done as it is done or not done
Even in his election night speach Obama said, "There will be decisons to make that many will not like, that will be hard to make" at least he is being honest, I do not expect to agree with EVERYTHING he says or does, that it not realistic, I live in the real world not in a Utopian Socieity

Again 52% of the electorate voted for him, meaning more then 1/2 the voting public wanted him in office, they liked what they heard, let's him him time to be true to his word, that simple, don't critisize the way an umpire umps a game til the game starts

Where do you think are the factories of Ford and GM if not in Detroit?

They have showrooms outside, they have some parts working stations outside. Why do they have those work stations outside?
Because it is much cheaper for them!
if they are disallowed to get cheaper work help from outside, they will surely get bankrupt.

Also, American market are not the actual consumers for them. And if they stops outsourcing completely, other markets may stop letting them get in.

You know what? Americans think that outsourcing is wrong for them, but the reality is, Outsourcing is HELPING them.

Better would be if American citizens stop buying chinese cheap alternatives for American own made expensive goods. That will help America to provide a stimulus to American producers.
But why will you buy a thing for double the price if the similar thing is available at much cheap price?

Anyways, if America goes protectionist, Obama will loose all confidence in outside world. And that will be greater loss for American producers.

They were allowed to do that and went bankrupt. Duh.

As for the reasons GM is going down: One reason is that American car manufacturers kept on building Hummers and those huge offroaders when the rest of the world realized that oil prices will be a decisive factor in picking a model to buy and started to build cars which need much less gas.
