The recent government rebate program for new car purchase which is backed by our tax dollars should require the consumers to buy American. If we are to help bring America back to its fiscal strength, we must think "America First".

Nothing is wrong with us putting our Country First. Even when flying you're told in case of emergency first place your oxygen mask on yourself then help your neighbor with their oxygen mask.

It would be wise to make sure that the biggest share of the stimulus funding being released in 2010 helps Americans and American Companies.

I agree with you. America has historically helped others before themselves, perhaps in an effort to be fair. However this time I think we need to be more realistic about what we need to do in order to recover from this crisis. For example, after we went to war with Japan we helped them to rebuild their infrastructure only to have them outperform us in technology. In the 60's we helped China build the largest truck manufacturing plant only to have them turn around and use it to build tanks. The rebate program just reminds me of this because again we are being fair, and the stimulus money is going to help foreign car makers when GM and Ford are in dire need of new car sales. I am all for helping people, but there is nothing wrong with getting strong and helping yourself too. We have tried to be all things to all people to the detriment of being anything to ourself.
