      No that’s just the US not being competitive because stock buy backs and layoffs are easier than building good cheap cars.

        …or both. Think about it, if what you’ve said is completely true (I don’t disagree, BTW), why would they bother subsidising?

        They’re trying to ring fence the market. That the US is helping then is only vaguely related

          But it’s not both. How can you produce something for cheaper with less subsidies unless your just better at it.

          It’s like saying the winner of a race had an unfair advantage even after giving their opponent a head start.
