I think you are right. More Romney Derangement Syndrome.
Here is the F&F video and the transcript from Cavuto. Mitt doesn't say anything like that. He discusses losing market share, but NOT sharing the burden. My guess is that this is partially a comprehension issue coupled with RDS.
ROMNEY: Well, you know, you have to hope that Congress is wise enough, here, to recognize that just throwing money at the auto industry is not going to help it long term.
And they're going to have to work with the industry as a partner to restructure the industry, to bring its costs down, to take the burdens off its back, so that the automobile companies can make automobiles that are effectively competitive with those coming from other nations. And, unless we do that, you're going to keep on seeing that domestic manufacturers lose share, year after year after year, and lose jobs.
I want to protect and grow jobs in the auto industry. And so, as the government prepares to put in billions of dollars to that industry, let's make sure that, as part of this effort, that we invest in companies that are newly streamlined, more economic, more efficient, and that we've really created a bright future for the American automobile sector.
Thank you redgirl, and thank you for the cutie flashing sign!!!!!
Surprise. Surprise. NOT. Romney who is in BED with FOX,
got FOX to delete the relevant transcript.
It is deleted in the section entitled “CROSSTALK”
NavVet was correct again, until proven otherwise.
AND it is important to find out why FOX deleted this.
ROMNEY: Well, you know, you look at what happened in Great Britain. Their auto industry was noncompetitive. The burdens were too great. The government said, “OK, we will give you some money to allow you to stay in business.” But, over time, they lost more and more market share. Ultimately, the industry liquidated. British Leland is gone.
In our case, we should use this opportunity, not to walk away from the industry — I’m not suggesting that the federal government isn’t a partner — but instead, as a partner, working with the industry to help them, either through a bankruptcy filing or through special legislation or through an out-of-court settlement, help them with their labor unions, their retirees, their suppliers, their real estate holdings.
Help them with all the parties involved to reduce the burdens on these companies on a permanent basis, so they can be competitive with the Japanese cars that are made here, the German cars that are made here. Look at what’s happening in America. You have, right now, a number of foreign companies that have manufacturing facilities here, and they’re making money and growing. We want to make sure that our companies that live here are also making money and growing. And there’s no reason...
CAVUTO: But that’s harder to do...
(CROSSTALK)
ROMNEY: ... they can’t.
