#1 Money is power, the less power EU psychopaths have to interfere in World affairs - the better off the World.

What if it gets down to actual War III?

Stop and remember the restrictions placed on certain US Citizens during WWII.

Now imagine that power again placed in the DC Swamps, LSD's and Elite Left hands now?

Remember, Internment Camps were the Democrats doing?

#3 Part of the problem is, most manufacturers want to sell higher priced models. They don't like to provide the basic low end models, because profits are low at the margin.

Problem is, China gets more money and more power while US and EU lose.

Whatever happened to the approach we took with the USSR? Seemed like it was a smashing success, so much so that the Berlin wall fell and the USSR went kaput. Why doesn't China get the same treatment? Perhaps they offered better bribes to Western policy makers than the Soviets?

Yeah, remember the old VW bugs and buses? They were cute and they were cheap. Never mind that they ran like crap. You could drop a new engine into it and keep going. People just couldn't get enough of them. Now VWs look like all the other cars on the road and they cost just as much. The mystic is gone.

#7 Why doesn't China get the same treatment?

Because it's not the same USA anymore?

#8 Grom, the reason Henry Ford had to sell to the masses was he needed to create a market where there wasn't one. There were no "mass use" cars when he started, so he had to bring the concept into being.
That was the genius.
