our glorious leaders allowed them to sell their wares here. every dime they made was funneled straight back to Japan. they then took that money and came over here and bought up all our classic muscle cars and had them shipped back to Japan.
....funding our own demise one rice rocket at a time. smart......real smart.

The solution is either to get competitive (innovate and control operating costs), or to try to close your markets (which is a very bad plan for the long term). The domestic car manufactures made an inferior product for the price, they deserve to be gone. If the Japanese companies can't compete with the Korean manufactures, they will be gone too (of they will just outsource).
Bill Gates did win the war, he understood how to dominate a market; his replacement, not so much. BTW, I only use macs.
