nationalism can not be legislated, it has to come from the people. in this country we have no basis for such an upswell of pride. hell, no one will even allow us to have an official language because it may offend someone.
the politicians are finally saying to the auto iundustry what the foreign competition has been telling them for years, it is more about jobs and economics than national pride.
with more and more "domestic" brands building overseas and then importing the cars into the US, who do you think the politicians will side with? the automakers that are taking jobs out of the country, or the companies that are building new facilities and hiring americans to work in them.
i woudl also like to know what the news papers would like the government to do to foreign brands that build in the us. you can't tax them extra for doing the same thing an "american" company is doing, you can't legal limit them from producing and selling because no single brandcan be singled out as a monopoly, and the foreign companies also hire so many people that trying to control their business would jsut put some politicians constituants out of work and we all know they aren't gonna do anything to stop themselves from being re-elected.
