		<description>#2, do Honda, Toyota and Nissan buyers get this break for cars made in the US at Georgetown, Lafayette, Marysville, etc.

If not, why not?

If they get the break (there really isn&#039;t a reason I can come up with that they shouldn&#039;t), the market-share situation will get even &quot;worse&quot; in favor of the Japanese, German, and Korean transplant companies.

If they don&#039;t get the break, it&#039;s blatant favoritism of one one group of American workers over hundreds of thousands of others.</description>

		<description>This solution sounds too simple:

Rather than giving the money to GM, etc., give say $5000 (or 25% of the purchase price) to anyone who purchases a new American-Made car.  This will give an immediate boost in demand for the manufacture of cars, parts, and other connected industries.

The buyer will have money left over to purchase other things.

If sales now are at 11 million, down from 16 million, I am sure it will change in short order.

If 16 million people purchase a new car, it will cost us $80 billion dollars.  But this money goes directly into the economy, eventually back to us, (the government).

Marketing experts will be able to determine if $2000 or $4000 would be enough to get buyers out to purchase a new car.

For sure, we should take advantage of the low gas prices now.  People will be more likely to purchase 20m/g cars now.

This seems too simple, but please help me see the fault in this thinking.
