What difference does it make if everyone that opposed it came from a state with a foreign owned car factory. Perhaps it gives them better insight as to what works and what doesn't. These foreign owned plants do hire americans and contribute to the local, state, and federal economy don't they. Do you honestly believe there is some cynical reason for them voting against this legislation. Lets not forget, it is only the Big 3 that are threatening bankruptcy. While the other companies are hurting from the recession, they aren't threatening to go underr at least not at the moment. So what we need to do is put our emotions aside and ask our selves, what are the foreign companies doing that prevented this from happening to them and lets convince the Big 3 to do the same. Instead of financing the same old tired business practices that got them here in the first place. You can describe insanity as, doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting different results.
For the sake of our kids and grandkids we owe it to them to fix the difficult problems now, instead of passing them off on them to fix later.
