Factories shouldn't be that pretty. Nice showcase, but not sure if they're making any money...
Wonderful video, Professor! Question: Do you think at the end of the day, this factory results in fewer people being employed or more people being employed?

Hey, Obama Motors will have new factories, too!:

WOW, Thanks, Prof. Perry.
Folks, do we want an economy driven by more Wal-Marts or higher value-added products produced in ever more innovative factories?
I know -- duh, but the we don't seem to emphasize manufacturing.
The car built in that factory (Phaeton) was overpriced and they canceled it's export to the American market.
Impressive?
Oh yeah!
What was the capital outlay for that little palace? How many cars do these folks have to sell before that plant pays for itself?
