Well, tell Havoc to stop thinking that the defense industry will be gone if the auto industry makes loads of transports instead of cars!

I do believe the problem was your comparing apples to oranges. Now if your example had been about France giving airplanes...

make tons of transports on what? Again, we only need so many of them and the numbers produced neither offset the production lost to cars or to replacement parts. The profits lost will cost the majority of jobs in the industry. As it collapses in on itself, the war production will fold with the rest under the weight of the rest. As the company falls apart, foriegn interests swoop in and buy stock low and tada, war production is owned by a French Corporation.

Again, in order to make enough war industry vehicles to offset losses, we'd have to overproduce and massively subsidize the industry. That means your free cars are paid for in raising taxes to prevent the failure of the domestic market. Your free cars are no longer free but rather end up costing americans more than if they'd bought them.

You don't know what the heck you're talking about.
