Who Will Be Next?:State of Michigan Gives Ford $300 Million to Stay

It's better than Georgia gave Kia $400M of taxpayer money to build its first US plant there, but since they only employ 2,500 employees that's $160,000 per employee. That's to build a car with virtually no American parts content, so the money made by the plant American taxpayers paid for all gets funneled out of the country. Nice.

I know Ford keeps jobs locally and supports the local economy and of course it would be sad if Ford left that area, but I have to agree with or at least in spirit mynecksonfire. Every American car company has been aware of serious problems with quality since at least 1980 and has done only the minimum to be competitive. For those who cannot add very well, that is 27 years to maintain their positions in the market.
The State of Michigan was wrong for what they did. This is typical for American automakers and that is put a band-aid on the problem and our stock prices will level off for a little while until the next crisis. They should be allowed to fall on their faces.
