@janetwon You are right. What do economic analysts know when economic questions could be answered by just asking "janetwon" with his vast amount of experience in such matters.
So sad, so true, our politicians must paint "pretty pictures" or you won't re-elect them. They must have their caviar and $300.00 a bottle wines you know....
It is all about profits. when America is ready to take away the rights of workers, then American corporations will come back. Unfortunately, in capitalism, you can not regulate GREED. P.S. I'm not blaming capitalism.
Our huge thrust into being green! We cant do that as fast as we are forcing! We are ill equiped to change that fast. Old has to be torn down before new can be put up. Other countries dont have old so new goes up right away. It goes up so fast cause its cheap and there isnt old infrustucture to deal with. The costs go down so fast in that country that we cant compete with that either. And we wont. Its time to wake up people Detroit is a mini look at the big picture.
We all care about other countries, fellow man. But you want to stay on top! Give but stay on top! Not by just a hair but by a mile. Let them like us but dont get in bed with them. Which is what we have done. In the 30s we produced 80 percent of the whole worlds steel now just 15 percent and falling. Why buy a Ford for 20000 dollars when you can buy 2 kias for that! You cant compete! And we arent.
Capitalism, and the free market is the best way to go. Most countries hate capitalism. They hate us and the hate capitalism. They hate it cause it has made us something they cant be. A superpower. So we think we can help them by giving up some of what we have. That has turned into to much. So countries like China has figured out a way to defeat us. Keep things cheap in China so companies move there. So they do and we suffer. This government needs to be fired and reset. A new start.
Government tax incentives for moving industry out, labor unions, EPA, and people who want things cheap. Blame them. Our Government worries about what the world thinks of us. So we incentivise companies to move jobs to countries in hopes they will like us for it. China has done in 20 years what this country has in 100. Believe it people Detroit is one city, an example of this country. China couldnt beat us militarily but they have already beat us economicly. They will and they will hurt us
Thats all this city and people have known was pain, let downs, and suffering. No one gave a fuck 20 years ago when Michigan and Detroit were falling apart, no one gives a fuck now about us. We dont need no one and no one needs us except our cars which people abuse treat like shit then blame us when they fall apart so Fuck you America for turning your back.
So the unions are all to blame for this recession? Last time I checked no one was buying ANY American made products including our cars. How about those fuckers on wall street and those damn banks giving loans to people they knew wouldnt afford and foreclose. How about our government for pissing away money. Are the unions here the greatest No, but are they ones solely to blame, no. Who has more power, Wall street, or the UAW? And I never bit off more than I could chew, and always bought USA made.
I was union, AFL & UAW. Never got one raise, always paid dues! The last thing is we need is another Ponzi scheme. Why do you need Union protection? Has it helped Detroit? The place will NEVER recover. The germans build BGWs without unions. Want to compare a low cost BMW with the inferior Detroit junk? I believe in America, I worked in the steel miils in Cleveland. When I moved South, (Atlanta) I made 3 times more that I did in Cleveland without Unions.
@AmericanMale1953 Detroit junk? Did you know that JD Power ranks Ford, Cadillac, Hummer, Buick, GMC, Chrysler, Chevorlet, Saturn, and Lincoln all higher in dependency than BMW?
@eslowiczek Hey I am patriotic, I have been buying Detroit steel for over 30 years but if you are trying to compare a German made car to that crap that is coming out of Detroit? We need unions to produce mediocre cars? STUPID! UAW workers need to get off the drugs and stupidity and start having a work ethic like the Asians do before it is TOO late! I love America but we got a serious culture problem in this country. WAKEUP!
I also have always bought GM or Ford products, but seriously they can only compete only in the production auto category at best. They should have given you a lot more for your hard-earned $. My God, how much money have they been paid? They are in bed with Wall street and the politicians. Let me ask you a question: Do you really think they eat in a fast-food restaurant as much as we have to? Do not be fooled, that is how they got your money in the first place. Just another layer of takeola!
help the auto industry ... why now .. and why they had let they build plants in cheap countrys... just ridiculus... no manager will ever blame for that shit they done .....
they talk like Detroit might turn around " Dumb-asses" have you ever heard the saying "you've made your bed now lie in it" !!!
