In negotiations, you never give your best offer.

Well, people would buy for the tax credits. Other countries such as China subsidize their industries why should we not?

If you demand ALL parts and assembly be made in the US on US vehicles receiving ANY tax deferments or credits or help in ANY way, you open a manufacturing base again. This puts workers to work, this increases tax revenues in the communities, states and federally. This also helps people make money that they can invest with, helps build disposable income and in essence helps businesses around the new manufacturing jobs start to thrive.

I would also, freeze utilities, gas, and oil prices for the year. Every quarter they can increase their price by 10%.

This allows for stability.

Those ingredients and we would have a booming economy again.
