The cars go overseas because more than 50% of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck, with deep credit debts, spending all they have and more. Europeans do not have such habits. And here in the U.S. most of the increases in wealth go to the top, while the working middle class just keeps losing pay, jobs and retirement benefits. And in Europe, the tax structure is enforced while here the wealthy have lobbied Congress to provide all the loopholes needed to pay next to nothing. So the Europeans have universal health care too.
Our politicians can't figure this all out because we keep letting them act dumb in public and in the press while lining their pockets. We have no one to blame but ourselves for letting this all happen. It sure as hell wasn't this way when I was growing up.
