It's been several months since I saw a news article but it was around 2% I think when I read it. I'm sure the government will weasel their way out of not paying a majority of them.

even if there is a plant here the profits from all the cars sold goes back to their country. so the guys working at that plant still have a job but no new jobs are going to be created, no new money will be put into our economy, and japan is probably laughing their *** off at us buying their cars to stimulate our economy.

i see absolutely no way as to how this helped our country. plus my family owning a repair shop thats 690,000 cars we will never have a chance to work on.

all this did was put false numbers into our econimy for a couple of months and give some nice people some new debts.

it was about as useful as 90% of the "bailout" money that was sent out

I understand that.I have never got out of hand here and have enough self control not to.I just felt the need to express my opinion.
I would still like to hear how the current president is responsible for our economic down turn and fall of our great country if that should happen.
