Step #1: American Auto
manufactures
“As goes General Motors, so goes the nation”.
Remember that phrase? Well? No help for the American auto manufactures? It’s
all our fault, we depended upon our elected officials to protect us from too
many imports, to even out the competition in the auto industry.
If it were some foreign auto manufacture in trouble,
Congress would go out of it’s way to assist them, but Americans, no way. How many
Americans does this affect? At least 30 million in all phases of supply, and
support to the basic manufacturing of American automobiles one in ten Americans
are involved in the auto industry. This is more of “Let us shut down American
industry”, lets destroy those American manufacturing plants. Lets help other
nations take over the United States of America. Congress has gone out of it’s
way to assist foreign manufactures take over our auto industry, just like they
did the electronic industry, the steel Industry, and many other industries of
this nation.
The bid to globalize and remove all industry from our
nation, to hell with the American workers.
People are correcting me, that Foreign cars are being “Made
in America”, maybe so, but not actually Made in America, “ASSEMBLED IN AMERICA” with foreign parts. Those
engines and other parts are arriving here, to be ASSEMBLED.
NO all that stuff arrives from imports, assembled to
sell to you.
Workers in Kentucky claim that the foreign
manufacture they work for is making all parts of the car in their town. I want
to know if those cars have tires made in America, is the radio made in America,
is the glass made in America, is the alternator made by Delco or made in Japan?
Are those steel body parts actually stamped out of American steel?
But where do those body parts come from?
Speedometers, and other gages made by Americans, in fact is there anything in
those cars actually manufactured in America. NO, of course not. Why not?
OK American auto manufactures, I would bail you out,
but there are a number of conditions to be met. First stop making cars in
Mexico and then importing them to sell to Americans. If you make it in Mexico,
you sell it in Mexico. You make every last screw in that car in America, made
by Americans. We need to sit down and discuss design, and what is practical,
and also sit down with the Unions and discuss what concessions must be met in
order for this industry to continue. What do I know about Unions? My stepfather
Truman Neff worked in conjunction with Walter Reuther in the 1937-39 era, to establish
the United Auto Workers union, when Truman worked at the Detroit Aluminum and
Brass plant in Detroit. Truman was also a Tool and Die Maker as was Walter. We
lived one block from that plant at that time on the NW corner of Domine, and
Dwyer. So I know Unionization and the auto industry. It was not my field of
interest as I grew up, but I know the importance of our auto industry, and
those plants assembling Foreign cars, would not be there to Manufacture what we
might need if we ever have to defend our nation again, as we did starting in
1939 to supply our troops with what it took to win WW II.
Will we ever have another war, to protect our nation.
NO, we won’t actually have a war, because we will just hand our
nation over to the United Nations, because we have traitors in Washington who
intend to end the sovereignty of our nation, and give this nation the United
Nations.
Lets face it; Congress does not care to protect us to
defend this nation, they intend to sell us to the United Nations New World Order.
I will keep pushing this message to you over and over, because that is what is
happening to our nation. Destroy American industry, and turn our nation over to
the NEW WORLD ORDER. Let me repeat that, our
Congress and Senate, and all elected officials are hell bent on destroying the
sovereignty of our nation. Congress and the Senate have, and will continue to
downsize our nation, telling us, we can’t compete with the world of poor people
who want your jobs.
Now correspondents are discussing the American Auto
Industry, what if that fails completely? It could, who can afford to even
consider buying a new car now? Do we lay off another 3 or 4 million auto
industry employees, really at least 30 million employees with the support
industry suppliers? Save America NOW or Surrender? NOT ME! How about you? Are
you ready to surrender America?
So we build electric vehicles? Lets discuss that
design. With the gasoline or any fueled engine, there is heat as a bi product.
That heat is used to heat the interior in the winter. That electrical only
vehicle also won’t run an air conditioner when needed.
So do you want to drive a vehicle without heat or
cooling in America. Maybe OK for a 10
minute drive to the grocery, a two-seater with no place for grocery sacks or your
4 kids.
A vehicle that will go only 100 miles, then takes 8
hours to recharge. All this talk about the new technology, and big real time
functional problems. Do you really need to go more than 50 miles from your home
anyway?
Lets discuss batteries, Batteries die in cold
weather. In the northern states, auto owners have to put heaters in their cars
at night to prevent the battery from freezing, many actually bring the battery
in to the house at night. What are they going to do, when there are 400 lbs of
battery in the car, if the owner can’t plug the car in at night to keep the
batteries warm, those batteries will freeze and be destroyed. Have you heard
ONE word about how much those battery packs are going to cost to replace when
they go bad? How many hours, or recharge cycles will they last? You do not want
to know.
How many cars do you see parked at the curb night after night, how do they recharge their cars?
Most citizens, who are not in the Auto Industry, do
not understand how many individual companies supply all those parts it takes to
make an automobile. The manufacture makes the body, and much of the structure
of the vehicle, but the auto manufacture doesn’t make the screws, the door
handles, the rubber sealant strips on the doors, the floor mats, the electric
motor for the window lifts, the starter, the many relay’s, and now electronic
controls, the upholstery, and the many many other parts to make that
automobiles.
American companies are not supplying the foreign car
manufacture assembly line. If we don’t save American manufactures and level out
the competition, you can be sure that 30% of Americans are going to be laid
off. Of course, any of you who have paid the local American car dealer for
repairs, may feel these companies are getting what they deserve.
If you actually believe there are no problems in our
industry, then go to any electronic store in America and buy a Zenith, Philco, RCA, GE, Motorola, Magnavox, Emerson,
or any American brand of TV. Where are those companies today? Where are the
citizens who use to work for those companies?
Most of us are being screwed in auto repairs. The
repair industry of many products, screws the public. For years I repaired
Radio’s and TV’s, I did an honest job, but I also quit working on some jobs
when I found the shop was not honest. If I couldn’t make an honest dollar, I
wouldn’t work for that shop.
There are a number of design failures by the auto
industry that were based upon saving a few dollars at the expense of your
safety. The Ford Pinto gas tanks for instance. The Chevy pickup gas tanks under
the left and right passenger seats unprotected by the vehicle frame.
Chrysler is the most dishonest of the three, when
they continued to manufacture a car with steering problems that they knew
existed, and still made that design for 13 years, a car destined to fail, with
deadly results, and then tell the owner it was their fault because they kept
turning the steering wheel, and Chrysler refused to do warrantee work on those
cars. The Dodge Intrepid is an example
of failure. http://www.daimlerchryslervehicleproblems.com
This is not the Chrysler products I use to know.
Many cut back Chryslers were built with Mitsubishi
engines, not made in America.
You must have serious mental reservations to buy any
current Chrysler product until Chrysler makes some major changes in design,
manufacturing, and customer service. Chrysler has made some great cars, and my
recent ownership of 2 different 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue cars, were a dream
to own. The Fifth Avenue, and similar Dodge cars, with the 318 V8, rear wheel
drive were excellent cars.
Chrysler has lost its way, and needs serious change
in operation, or just close the doors, and fade away. I currently still own a
1957 Chrysler Imperial with the 392 Hemi, a beautiful car. I know cars, I know
electronics, I know chemistry, I know manufacturing, I know Americans want
decent products that we spend money to buy. We want honest manufactures, how do
we get that? My choosing Chrysler products for years, was the fact they were
easy to work on when normal wear and tear repairs were needed. Not now.
Recovery plan:
How will I do this? I will offer to financially help
the Automobile manufactures, first by offering to cut taxes on the company 100%
for four years, as long as: Those executives being paid over $200,000/yr
continue to work in the same capacity for the next 4 years at NO Salary. That:
Hourly Employees, and supervisors, work at the following wages of my plan (For
hourly employees, I want the pay scale to be $18 to $28/hr for assembly or
machinist type jobs, for supervisors, pay not to exceed $35/hr) with no raises
for the next 4 years, and the highest salary for any executive after 4 years is
limited to $200,000/year including any so called benefits, “until” the bailout
loans have been repaid to the government.
Then, I want the manufacture and suppliers stay with
a fixed design, and not waste money on yearly redesign, other than improvements
in mileage, or safety. Stop redesigning the hood, make redesigns under the
hood, until the company has paid back the bailout loans to the government. If
the executives leave the company for any excuse other that death, I will
personally tax them for the Company loans, or no deal.
Sink or swim.
To boost sales, I want states to stop charging sales
tax on new vehicle sales. We must do this. I know of course the states are
going to say; “We need those taxes”, of course they do, but if there is NO
manufacturing, and no auto sales, there is NO tax anyway. Then at the end of 4
years then we can restore the taxes to normal rates. But we must enhance
production NOW. I want research to developing a Nuclear power box about 12”
cube, that can produce 10 KW of power to run our vehicles without any
Hydrocarbon fuel at all. This power pack can be totally sealed with a lifetime
of 10,000 years. Isn’t science wonderful?
