2. Growing the pie theory
For companies to grow they either need to grow their slice or the whole pie needs to grow.

The "pie" for auto sales fell from 16 million to 10 million. That is brutal. The pie shrunk massively that is why all the car companies are losing money now.

CforC likely would never have passed the house if it was seen as pork for auto companies.

It is a simple bill hard to deny it works. Grow the pie.

If auto sales can stabilize at 12 million units per year the auto companies will be fine. If they get back to 13-14 million they will be profitable.
