Neither of them gave the correct answer in my book. They seem to both be taking the populist approach to the problem. E.g. "What can the U.S. Federal government do to revive the failing automotive industry?" instead of: "What can we deregulate that would give these companies a better chance to succeed." (Unions....)
Now how is it his place to tell a company how they should invest their money? Or even worse, is he upset that the federal government isn't investing heavily enough in the automotive sector?
"It's inexcusable to me to see these jobs going away again and again and again," Romney said outside the plant, arguing for more investment in science and technology research.
"What I'm critical of is the absence of a federal policy designed to strengthen the U.S. automotive sector and manufacturing general," Romney said.
I wish other candidates had chimed in on this issue, since I feel so strongly about it. It would make for a great economic dividing line for me. (Conservative vs Populist)
