Yes. Congress & Unions have caused Detroit car makers virtually all of their problems.
In 35 years of commuting 80 miles per day on Houston freeways I have always seen 8 to 10 Jap cars, including the Lexis, broken down for every Chevy, & there are many more Chevys. Tow truck drivers confirm my observation. Enormous difference in reliability defies "propaganda" to the contrary.
I have seen 5 Detroit cars with ambulance or apparent injuries. During that time i have seen many hundreds of Jap cars with people obviously injured or Dead. Vastly higher injury & death rate.
2 Undisputable, Unambiguous Facts:
If all of America stopped production; making cars, cameras, TVs, airplanes, farming, processing foods, etc., we would all be forced to import all of these items.
We'd all soon run out of money.
We'd all starve.
The same thing will happen if we buy from Japan & Chinese which refuse to buy from us; unbalanced trade.
It would just take longer.
It is absolutely Unpatriotic & Un-American to buy Jap or Chinese products.

Ford is releasing that Fiesta that gets 55 miles per gallon in 2009, but you can only buy it in Europe. One theory is because the car takes diesel fuel, which isn't "Green", so the environmentalists wouldn't buy it, even though the car gets very low emissions. But Europe has always had people driving smaller cars, because mostly gas has always been almost twice what we pay here in the U.S. Texas is notorious for people driving large trucks and SUVs carrying only one person, that you don't even see these kind of vehicles in other parts of the country as much.
And while cars have become more gas efficient, that has been because a more gas efficient car is a market driven desire. Why wouldn't someone want a car that is more gas efficient if they don't have to make sacrifices to safety or performance? We don't need the government to step in and force the auto makers make more gas efficient cars. But, instead we have $100 million dollar programs where someone driving a car that is a 1996 or older, can receive $3000 from taxpayers by proxy of the government, to buy a new car. I didn't know that I was working so hard and paying taxes to buy low-income Texans new cars, under the delusion that it will make the air cleaner.
