The private sector is able to create more jobs and Not use taxpayer money to do it. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! XII/XXII/MMXII!

Some of GM's top selling vehicles were not designed here or originally built here but came from across the pond. Chrysler is really now a French company with plants in North America. Globalization is a reality and the US for the last 20 years owes its existence to China and US consumers have made China the top manufacturing company in the world.
