Thank you. I think you put your position together well.
There was probably no way the difference between our positions could be more greatly defined than through that example.
You would refuse on behalf of our country a huge gift fearing it would hurt three major auto manufacturers.
I would accept it such that everyone, regardless of industry affiliation, would profit and use their monies on more useful endeavors.

Yeah, but then you'd be run out on a rail when the auto industries failed and with them, our ability to defend ourselves because the auto industry has been our means of mobilizing for war. Again, you race for a short term profit ignoring a 20 year destruction of the auto industry and our ability to produce for war - national defense. You'd sell out our national defense industry for a 1 year gain for current Americans. Yes, your example does show the difference between us. Your lack of judgement and foresight and your overpowering urge toward satiating greed.

Sometimes a "gift" isn;t always what it's cracked up to be. Ask the Trojans.
