Ted, You claimed it was perfectly normal for Alabama to subsidized the operation of foreign auto plants in Alabama but you think its unacceptable for the federal gov't to help American auto companies. There is a double standard in play here. You are 0 for 3. - Alabama (or most locations competing for large investment) subsidise initial set-up, not ongoing operations. Ongoing operations is what is supposed to bring return to the state on the initial subsidy - I didn't say it is unacceptable for federal government to subsidize American auto companies. I object to the subsidy for the union. - there is no double standard Joe
