    Foreign, domestic what's the difference

    Mr. Koppelman and Mr. Madden are full of crap. I dislike Republicans as much as the next guy, but the bottom line is that Nissan, Toyota, Honda, VW, etc. employ Americans, pay decent wages, have good benefits, and make better cars. Most Americans know this and could care less if GM, Ford and Chrysler went out of business. Yeah unemployment is not fun, but instead of throwing money into the sinkhole that is the domestic auto industry we should invest in a decent safety net that would make *all* unemployed American’s life less miserable.
