As a Detroiter and Detroit homeowner I have to say yes, you are very much correct. It’s a city large enough to fit the footprints of Manhattan, San Francisco and Boston inside of, but now has less than 700,000 people living in it. People in the suburbs like to come down here for restaurants and shows and events, but…

Neutral: The future of auto manufacturing as we know it now is dependent on real and significant wage growth for the car-buying public. We’re already at 0% financing and you can’t just keep extending the loan duration to compensate for prices that are climbing at a substantially faster rate than underlying wage…

Man, we really, really need some adults in the room for these shit for brain politicians to go to for advice on how to understand business.

No roof, down a cylinder, needs throttle cable...

Oh absolutely, to the extent that they believe they can be. To a large extent Ford and GM both realize that this will lead to a slowdown in the market, especially in vehicles that are on the lower end of the cost-spectrum. Adding $1000/vehicle to the price of a Chevy Cruz is significant, while adding $1000/vehicle to…

What he can do to them he already did via the tariffs. GM got a 500M tax break from last years tax bill, and added $1B in materials costs due to the steel tariffs.

They’ve never been about small government, just against government they don’t like. What’s more big government than telling someone they can’t have an abortion? Or the drumbeat for war?

Thank you. I’ve been trying to explain this to the Trumpers I know. I can only imagine how their eyes pinwheel when I quote George Will: “Protectionism is socialism for the well-connected”. Stop trying to pick winners and losers, Don. 

the GOP is NEVER about small govt, that is merely a scam. Its about socialism for the rich and eff everyone else. The last time a GOP member actually put his money where his mouth is re: small govt and fiscal conservatism is bush 43 when he raised taxes. He was immediately a pariah and lot reelection.

Your way off course. The obvious action to take to increase car sales is another tax cut for corporate America. Once that trickles down to the folks making minimum wage, GM won’t be able to build cars fast enough!

They hoard it. Time and again it is proven that giving money to the poor spurs the economy, not the rich. The poor have things they need to spend money on. The rich don’t.

His dad gave him $200 million and he still managed to bankrupt a Casino--which is literally the easiest business to make a profit on.

They invest it. Once you have more money than you care to spend, it’s it can’t do anything for you except attract more of itself. 

Which is exactly what he did after members of a sports team said they wouldn’t go to the White House.

this. So much this. What a pathetic individual who is wholly incompetent in his office. His defenders will say “but jobs and immigration” but the fact is he does not know what the President does, and he is incompetent to do what his job is.

I’m so fucking tired.

Oh look! American Hitler “thinks” waving his ignorant wand will make the American economy jump to his stupid, stupid decisions....

If anyone actually thinks any rich guy, politician or corporation is worried about the laboring middle class, I've got a bridge to sell you. 

Please Mr. President, we’re tired of all this winning.
