The US Car industry is not under threat. The Big 3 are under threat - indeed they are already dead. Time for them to collapse and for their assets and their useful workers to be taken up by companies that know how to run at a profit. Then the US car industry - people in the US, making cars - will do fine.

Any business which cannot operate without massive gifts from Government is not a business, it is a welfare scheme.

You post is breathtaking in its stupidity. It's really stupidity squared. The US Car Industry is GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Period.
The Foreign Car Companies which operate here do low tech final assembly. There is a huge difference between Manufacturing and Final Assembly. Final Assembly is chump work or chimp work.
If the US Auto Companies were to go out of business as you seem to wish for how long to you think it would take for the foreign car companies to pack up and leave? Nothing could stop them. They would have the US over a barrel. The Foreign Manufacturers didn't want to come to the US in the first place. They were forced to. Toyota, Honda, Nissan in particular would much rather be operating in Japan if they could. With the US Auto Industry out of business, there would be no force to stop the foreign manufacturers from leaving.

Just who do you thing would buy up all these so called assets? Give me the names of the companies.
Gosh you really haven't thought this thing out.
