		<description>We have 250 Million cars on the road, what is that one for everyone over 16?   

Maybe they should move to JIT and stop pushing production?   

To many cars, that’s all…build some commuter rail lines.  The only problem with that is funding and the roads we all own we pay for with the fuel excise tax.  The trains never make money they always show a loss.  

What is funny is that if we where not freaks in such a hurray, then they could build the car as we need them.  Less cars less often, scheduled replacement?   They sort of are attempting that with leasing.  But it’s contrived and not real, many purchases are emotionally driven rather than based on real need.   But of course emotions actually are real aren’t they.    

Driven less and better maintained and made better autos can last ten years.   How about a car that cost ten thousand that is rated to last ten years, it would depreciate at what a thousand a year.   

Can you imagine the government could say that is what we want under 3000 lbs and 30MPG, all the other cars eventually get junked they get recycled and all the new cars should be limited as to the material they consist of  that being easily recycled.  

The future is all about managed cycling based on real need the true demand limited by real supply based on physics.   

Hello America….try to find something more than an automobile that makes your spirit take flight.    

Myths are something people believe to be real that are not, maybe our existence is a myth?   Perhaps its all big pyramid scam?   We do realize that supply and demand are not exclusively related to capitalism.</description>

		<description>Good reminder! It is important to keep facts in the discussion, since the solution will really be &quot;whatever sucks least&quot;, not a true fix. No matter whether the Big Three go bankrupt or sputter along as usual, there will be negative repercussions.

I am always a bit surprised by just how many people believe those myths -- I&#039;m no fan of Ford, but that&#039;s because I own a Ford Escape and was also an employee. I know their problems are legion, but it&#039;s not as simple as &quot;those greedy unions&quot; or &quot;Fix Or Repair Daily&quot; or &quot;bad gas mileage.

SC&#039;s governor is one of many declaring unions to be THE problem (as well as [and I paraphrase] stating that economic stimulus would come from people just going to work, like the many unemployed folks in his state are just lazy). I&#039;m perturbed to have to live in his state. It is a very telling attitude towards the average SC worker, and does not encourage me that manufacturing Down South is going to be in better shape any time soon.</description>
