i restore vintage vehicles, i would never pay what new cars sell for, but i understand not everyone works on cars. i have worked in a G.M. plant in reno[not for G.M.but hostling trailers for them to unload], i have never seen so many overpaid, spoiled,lazy whiners in my life. this is where unions go awry.if people could stop wanting a new car every year, and just go on driving the one they already are paying on then perhaps the auto makers would come up with more gas efficient and affordable cars on their own.my truck is a 1964 and will go as fast and as far as i need to go. it has been paid for since i bought it.it has a 6 cylinder motor and gets average mpg. my insurance is minimal.it all comes down to dicipline on behalf of americans.do yourself a favor and save your money instead of chasing the carrot.

The auto and oil industries always fight sensible changes.

[pwrslm]

Auto manufacturers have another choice.

They can close all of thier distribution into California, and let California build or modify its own vehicles.

There is no law that states that California has to be included in the distribution of a companies product.

How ugly, how apparently this implies not only conflict of interest, but influence peddling, coercion and possible misuse of government power. How much do we want to bet this goes right back to Cheney and Bush and will fall under the "executive privilege info" since it will show that Bush and Cheney pushed for or approved of the federal strong arm tactics. Can these people get any sleazier?

[bareemperor]

Let's see - if we follow the trail of dollars here...

Public wants change...

Auto industry doesn't want change...

EPA looks into it...

Transportation Dept hears from the Boss...

Boss linked to Big Oil...

BU$H

I am an American living and working in southern Turkey. There is a Chevrolet dealer selling small and medium sized Chevrolets that are of course not available in the USA. There is also a Ford dealer that is also offering small and medium cars not available in the USA. The Big USA car manufactureres are not telling the truth to the American public when they say they do not have cars that can meet mileage standards. The cars here must be efficient, because gas is $8 a gallon.

acauble1,

The "non-union" auto makers are reconsidering expanding their manufacturing in the U.S. in part because there is no universal health care for the citizens of the U.S.

Angela Merkel, Germany's first woman chancellor is considered conservative yet she set limits on CEO pay in Germany.

The U.S. is a nation of people who have allowed themselves to be duped by pimped off, narcissitic non-visionary destroyers of society that spout off their deceiptful distractors to a lemming populace.

The future kings, the grand pimps of today, are delighting in this divided populace that lives in a state of demoralization and fear.

[l8c6]

acauble1,

How well trained our thought is in the United States. You make the immediate assumption that business cannot succeed in the U.S. without huge tax incentives.

The people of this country are being demoralized by the greed of a few.

The United States is not the only country that produces. If one travels to Europe there can be observed many products from cars, to appliances etc. etc. In spite of this European countries can provide a modern civilized standard of living for all of it's citizens much better than the U.S. The right wing fascists of the United States have long called this socialism. Well, I guess that makes the right wing anti-social-----look up the definition.

The kings of the old European societies would have called it socialism for a government to be designed to allow for the care of its citizens. They would have detested it because otherwise they would not have had the power or the insane wealth they possessed because the system would allow more even distribution of wealth not showering it on small number. In the old world there were in mass great numbers of losers and a small amount of winners. Not good for humanity. Very good for the church and the gentry.

I don't think there's really any doubt about that.

acauble1: With the U.S. manufacturing base almost completely gone, and high-tech, high-skilled jobs slowly going to China and India, what will the U.S. economy consist mostly of? People selling stuff to each other?

Yes. America will just become one big yard sale! Rotating from one city to the next every few days.

But seriously, if the corporate tax incentives were aimed at manufacturing domestically as opposed to off-shoring jobs, then the economy would grow tremendously!

Why has Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, and many other foreign car makers EXPANDED their manufacturing in America? There has to be some economic benefit to them through some type of tax incentives. Let's repeat those incentives to every foreign company as well as domestic companies. The increase in jobs will help the tax revenue increase within the government coffers, far surpassing the loss from the tax incentives given.

"Michigan Republicans urged the EPA to reject California's request, saying it would %u201Cbankrupt the domestic auto industry."

So?

Did they care when laying off hundreds of thousands of autoworkers in the 70s that their action would bankrupt hardworking citizens nationwide?

Nope.

Whenever they want to influence law to their favor, they hold the "unemployment knife" to the necks of the workers. Well now they don't have so many workers, so the economic shock won't be anywhere near what happened in the 70s, so we can take it.

Call their bluff.

[acauble1]

If the only auto manufacturers left in America are Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and other foreign companies...


... THEN SO BEIT!


I'm not worried about the workers at the U.S. car plants, as the smart ones will find manufacturing jobs with the predominantly non-union foreign automakers.

The executives of the U.S. automakers will all leave their companies with their multi-billion dollar 'parachutes'. The U.S. economy will survive without U.S. car manufacturers. And the environment will survive with better engineered cars from other countries!

Stop the lip service and griping in these forums. Email your representatives. Impeach Bush Now!

[yamuttya]

It's clear bush and co. are traitors.
They disgrace America and democracy.
Voted for Bush ?
Shame on you.

[thismachine]

Someone needs to give Mr. Waxman a medal. As much as I despise the Demicans and Republicrats, I say he's one of the best candidates for upstanding leader of this country.
