Automotive Industry and the Election

[cheap]

Here I was mistakenly thinking it was the fault of the manufacturers building cars people didn't want to buy/drive/own. Here I was mistakenly thinking they were building products which in some cases were over priced crap.

Yes some of the politicians didn't help and neither did the unions. But I fail to see why somone (for example me) has had to prop up an industry year upon year through my money (taxes) for them to build products which I do not want and have blue collar workers on wages (again using my money) way over what they're worth. Can someone explain the logic in that? And before you start, simply telling me that every country protects their auto industry is in my opinion total bull-dust and part of the reason for failure.
