Your understanding of macroeconomics is equally misinformed.

As I majored in economics, I feel that I am definitely more qualified than you (an anonymous poster) to speak regarding economics. Couple of questions for you, o brilliant one: Does the Japanese government still subsidize their auto manufacturers? How much of the infrastructure costs necessary to construct a manufacturing plant in the USA does said Japanese manufacturer pay?

I have an even more important question: why is it that Detroit can't figure out how to build a car that doesn't require extensive repair every 25,000 miles?

Your questions are irrelevant to the discussion. Sounds like whining to me. Who sent you to school, the UAW? I see you forgot to correct your 'terroristic attack' flub as well.

Majoring in economics in most American universities makes one _less_, not _more_, qualified to speak on it. Subsidies? Who cares? A country cannot subsidize its way to wealth! If they are subsidizing the auto makers, they are simply paying for part of my excellent Nissan.
