Save the US Auto Industry

How to save the auto industry?

The three major US auto plants asked the government for $25 billion cash, or else face bankruptcy. The US government is already in trouble because of the financial crisis. Yet another trouble is coming u…, like the Chinese proverb said “under a leaking the rain again!” a multitude of things happen in one roof. How to solve this problem?
The followings suggestions may worth considering:

1. Japan and Germany are strong competitors in the US auto market. The US government should urge the two countries to reduce import of motor vehicles to the US. Since both are the US good alliance nations ought to help each other.
Otherwise US should exercise WTO dumping law to increase the two countries car import duty.

2. Move part of their manufactories plant to developing countries such as China and India etc... in order to reduce the cost of production. This not only enhance the competiveness at home and abroad, it can also preserve the original US car market.

3. Cut production, shorten working hours, give allowances to the remaining workers to work in Chinese car factory, and other emerging countries. In this way, US can solve the unemployment problem and can also earn foreign exchange for the state. It is time for the US to change the reaping without sowing policy.

4, Encourage American to buy only US-made cars, learning Japanese and Koreans patriotism… do not eat US rice and U.S. beef!






如何拯救美国汽车工业?

美国三大汽车厂,向政府求救,急需要融资几百亿元,否则将会面临破产。
美国政府为了解救金融危机,已经够头痛了,再加上重要的汽车工业也需要救济,有如“屋漏又逢连阴雨”,千头万绪,国会又多了一个难以解决的问题需要讨论——要不要救汽车工厂?!如何解救?!
下列几个解救美国汽车工业的方案,也许值得供有关当局的考虑:
1、日本和德国是美国汽车市场最强大的竞争者,美国政府也许可以请求他们站在友好联盟国的立场,自动减少出口到美国的汽车数量,否则将以世贸倾销法,加重这两个国家的汽车入口税。
2、一劳永逸,政府协助这些汽车厂把部分设备迁移到中国和印度等发展中国家生产,以便减轻生产成本,不但可以提高竞争能力,也可以保存国内外的原有汽车市场。
3、减产,缩短工作时间,把剩余技工以津贴方式保送他们到中国等新兴汽车工业国寻找工作机会,不但可以解决失业问题,也可以为国家赚取外汇,改变不劳而获的政策。
4、鼓励人民尽量购买国产汽车,学习日本人和韩国人不吃美国米和不吃美国牛肉的爱国精神!
