No, conservative ideology is a form of domestic terrorism; PUNISH, and if that doesn't work, PUNISH MORE SEVERELY. There is not a business in America that doesn't rely on loans. The auto manufacturers were not responsible for the economic meltdown that caused plummeting sales...Wall Street was. Japan subsidizes their auto manufactures, we offered loans. Look up the word LOAN...
If the domestic auto manufacturers had been allowed to collapse, it would have been a HUGE disaster. 3 million jobs would have been eviscerated and all those workers would have moved from productive tax payers to the public dole. The foreign manufacturers in the US would have been hurt just as severely, because it would have wiped out all the sub industries that supply BOTH groups of manufacturers. From the OP: "Honda Accord made and assembled in America has 80% U.S.-sourced parts"
