CARMAKERS REBOUND IS DRIVIING JOBS : LA TIMES

Linking to the LA TIMES article... Yes it's autos that people are buying...

"And it's not just the Big Three American manufacturers that are thriving. Nissan, VW and other foreign-based firms are expanding in the United States, putting billions of dollars into building and refurbishing plants. Start-ups Tesla Motors in Palo Alto, Fisker Automotive in Anaheim and Coda Automotive in L.A. are hiring and spending hundreds of millions of dollars designing and launching electric and hybrid vehicles. Dealers are having a banner year, making more money per sale than they have in years and hiring back some workers shed during the recession."

PATRIOTIC Holiday Travel In the Great United States

Aren't we lucky! Both HAWAII and ALASKA qualify as All American Travel Destinations!

Gas is expensive and the whole TRAVEL INDUSTRY is hurting! Car manufactures are going bankrupt. This is our own fault. We keep thinking we have to go far or we have to go foreign country to get our money's worth or have fun!

WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF YOUR OWN HOME TOWN or the COUNTY you live in?

Have you been to the historical sites, the lakes, the museums, the festivals?

WHY NOT TAKE THE WEEK TO BE A TOURIST IN YOUR OWN HOME TOWN and GO SOMEWHERE NEW EVERY DAY!

Go to the zoo!

See a play!

You GOTTA HAVE A CAR ! STUCK ON A BUS TO NOWHERE!

YOU GOTTA HAVE A CAR...

We say this knowing that Obama's junker car program brought a lot of old vehicles in off the roads but that this has not necessarily stimulated new car purchases or manufacturing.

Having taking the buses for some time now in an effort to not only save money but be ecologically correct, I have found that it takes so much time to get around that what used to take one Saturday off running around to stores, nail parlor, hairdresser, shoe repair, library - all those errands, now takes days. Any business that is not on a bus line or more than a block walk has lost my business.

And finding and keeping a job using public transportation is well, LIMITING...

It's a limit I cannot afford.

HOW ABOUT YOU? ARE YOU STUCK ON THE BUS TO NOWHERE ?
