The libertarian in me screams: "This isn't a federal problem to solve!" and that's my general leaning. But at the same time the article sickens me. Not only is it incredibly biased and insulting but it's also unpatriotic. We should be ridiculously upset with American auto manufacturers if they are honestly claiming that they can't do as well as foreign companies. For them to suggest (and for this author to not only give them a pass on it but encourage them) that we're incapable is an insult to America. Nearly every "Japanese" you see on the road here is made here: American factories, American workers and in many cases American designers and engineers. I'm not sure of the numbers but how many American cars are produced in Mexico? So much federal legislation has been passed to help American auto-makers. So many bail-outs and cope-outs. If the Japanese can do it better, cheaper then shame on us. So to sum up: a) Government should get back to governing and get out of the free market. b) Detroit needs to stop whining and man-up - because if there truly was a free market they'd be roasted alive.
