one of the things obama wants to do is rebuild the car industry and make it more competitive in price and quality as japan,germany and other countries that have been dominating the automotive market since the seventies.
the major car companies out here however are ford, general motors, dodge and i think hummer is out here too as well as cadillac which have become more known for making mammoth sized gas guzzling trucks and suvs that can flip on hair pin turns and not eveyrone who owns one properly knows how to drive one and although they are dieal for family cars as far as size and people capacity, but are not always very affordable for families to afford one especially in the economy we are in right now.
personally, i think we should focus on the alcohol and tobacco industry. this country's first major export was tobacco and it was pretty damn successful for quite a while and alcohol? well, this country has the proper climate to grow bulks of rice for sake, sugarcane for rum,potatoes for vodka and grains for beer nott o mention corn for whiskey and grapes for wine. some of the more known alchol brands are from right here in the u.s.a like jack daniels, jim beam,smirnoff,captain morgan, budweiser etc. and even california has become quite competitive internationally in the wine market. and even though not eveyrone can afford a pt cruiser or a tricked out escalade, pretty much most responsible adults can afford a bottle of brandy or whiskey or champagne (<3!)
butt hat's just my opinion. what do you think? do you think we can eventually have some cars made righthere on the market that are competitive with the cars from other countries? or do you think we should focus on other markets we can do?
