I think, NOT. First, the attitude that this transmits to other economically developed countries is a greedy solution that limits their exports, and therefore could affect what they import. Second, it reduces the competitive spirit which the base of the entire economic system. Third, it allows US companies to take advantage of their US customers by offering a much more limited range of products and therefore spend less in R&D.

Most of the problems that US car makers and Green energy products have these days is that they were and are still greedy in their outlook on future needs. True, the US car market has always been based on oversized and inefficient cars by public demand and the car manufactures need to sell what the people want. So this is a catch 22 situation.

I personally hoped that gas prices would exceed $10 a gallon to force people to change their mentality and buy more efficient, not more powerful cars, and to promote the use of more clean alternative energy.

YES YES YES YES. THIS IS THE ANSWER. You cannot exist as mindless worm in every thing you do , unfortunately most American's can only think of them selves and what they WANT. Can the American mind be stretched so far as to have a social conscience at the mall? When we think, we start to improve every thing around us when we think to buy American, we start to improve the American economy. I admit the Chinese sell for less and make a good product, by all means buy the best item at the best price, that is how the free market runs, but if you can take the time and have the vocation to look and then choose. 'if it is almost the same price and there is not much difference then buy American and save sombodys job! The job you save may just be your own!

But dont buy slave labor products like Nike and crap like that at any price!

ALL of this is to be totaly diregarded when it comes to cars, the political manipulating and underhanded methods of detriot are unforgivable and they should go the way of the horse-buggy. They should not have killed the electric car, we dont forgive killers in america, especialy those who kill technology, progress and hope!

Avenge the Tucker!

I respect your opinion, but I don't think you realize the full consequence of your posture and decision. Allow me one small example, If I'm not mistaken, Magnavox was the last manufacterer of TV sets in the US. By the time they closed, most of what was in them wasn't even American. So, any suggestions on which TV you might consider buying in the future? Sony, in America, is on the same path, doomed.

Without too much of en effort I'm sure I could go on and on.

I wonder who's going to pay for some artificially stimulated company to start to produce all the things that aren't even made in the States by anybody! Maybe if you order your American TV now, in ten years is should be available for pickup. No picking and choosing here, or ALL American, or Free trade.

Don't give it too much effort and since you are not a US citizen, you do not even get a vote. If you are a citzen of the US, go somewhere else and live for a while then come back and let's see how much trash you talk. Maybe then you will realize the consequence of "your posture." Our government allowed Japanese firms to dump electronics here in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's as part of an agreement that we had so the Japanese woulds not sell the Russians the microcircuit and other electronics mass production technology. It was not popular with electronics firms here I am sure, but it was the cold war. So basically shut up and read some history before you shoot off your mouth. BTW Curtis-Mathis was the last US TV manufacturer. So just enjoy your USA bashing now, I wish we would stop taking care of every punk ass country like yours anyway.
