Volkswagen Plans North America Onslaught

YOU'RE RIGHT... THE ONE THING WE DO NOT NEED IS LIVABLE WAGES, HEALTH CARE BENEFITS, SAFETY WORK RULES.
WHAT WE NEED IS MORE FOREIGN TRANSPLANTS UNDERCUTTING THE AMERICAN UNION WORKERS, BRING DOWN OUR WAGES, CUT OUT BENEFITS. THAT IS GOING TO JUMP START OUR ECONOMY, INCREASE PEOPLE'S BUYING POWER, GIVE US A STRONG TAX BASE AND OF COURSE PUT US AT PAR WITH THE REST OF THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES...SUCCESS ON A MASSIVE SCALE...

AND WE WONDER HOW WE GOT IN THIS MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that taxpayer's money should be used to purchase domestic products...do "WE THE PEOPLE" NEED TO BE TOLD TO DO SO? President Obama and congress are not buying the foreign rust boxes..."WE THE PEOPLE" are...And we wonder how we got in this mess!!!!!!!!!!

BUYING FOREIGN RUST BOXES WITH THEIR OWN TAX MONEY...The American people do not have the rights to bitch and complain if the domestic auto are not able to re-pay the government loans...the contrary...when they get up in the morning and look in their mirrors they should be looking at someone slapping the cr@p out of the person they're looking @.

Is U.S. Starting a Trade War?

We're giving Nissan American taxpayers money...Nissa takes $.90 for every $1 that you pay for their cars back to japan...Ten we turn around and ask the Japanese for a loan to give the American unemployed workers a stimulus check so they can go out and buy a Chinese made TV...At the same time the Toyota republicans in Washington scream bloody murder for a loan to save an American company and its thousands of workers...WHAT IN H&LL IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY!!!

Is U.S. Starting a Trade War?

blame the unions...blame those that still have the buying power to keep the economy going...blame those that fight against the shipping of our jobs overseas...blame those that keep your local restaurants going...blame those that gave you 40hr work week...blame those that kept the corporate bosses from treating working people like animals...and yes let compete with those slave labor countries...lets live like the Chinese,do like the Mexicans.
lets lower our wages and get rid of benefits...and then we'll have the buying power that the rest of the third world countries have.
AS WE'RE FORCED TO COMPETE WITH THEM WE'LL BECOME LIKE THEM...CONGRATULATION.... BLOWING THE CANDLES!!

Stephen...the original idea of free trade was to industrialize those underdeveloped countries...to bring them to our standard of living and eventually they would be able to buy our products...instead corporate America with the help of Washington has been using their slave labor to fatten their wallets.
Trade restrictions only benefit

> special interests, placate the ignorant, and lower living standards?
Of course you're talking about well payed union jobs...in your mind...those of us who's wages haven't being lowered are ignorant and we're lowering our living standard with our buying power...in your mind we would do better if we competed with the slave wages of Mexico$1.90hr or China $.33hr.
Of course in the last 8 years we had a president that kept telling us that the economy was great while our jobs were leaving the country!

"think of the 50 states as separate countries. Would it make any sense for politicians in California to impose tariffs or duties on products made in Michigan?"

Mr.K. Brouwer: workers in California earn the same wages as workers in Michigan...shipping products from California to Michigan and viceversa cost the same.
Workers in china are payed $.33hr and the rest of those countries we trade with... Canada being the exception... do not make enough money to afford what they make or our products.
free trade was created for corporate America to take advantage of other countries cheap labor...for wall street fat cats...for wall street mega profits...they sold our jobs, replaced our paychecks with easy credit to keep us buying their foreign junk. and "we the people" took the bait...5 MINUTES LEFT IN THIS GAME...TIME TO KICK SOME @SS...BRING OUR JOBS BACK...BUY AMERICAN!!!
