Toyota is planning to put another plant in the United States, this time Mississippi.

Congressmen and women have their underwear all tied in knots over the development…."GM, Ford, Chrysler are laying off workers. Why should we let Toyota continue to expand…the yen is undervalued….blah, blah, blah…"

Maybe, just maybe, all those workers being laid off could go to work for a Japanese carmaker.

After all, Toyota is committed to its customers…something the Big Three seems to have missed out on.

Toyota and Honda are committed to fuel efficiency…something the Big Three don't have a clue about.

One member of congress said, "you can't swing a dead cat in the parking lot (on Capitol Hill) without hitting a Toyota or Honda or a Mitsubishi. I don't believe it's a political problem." Yea…it's not a political problem. America's Big Three isn't making the cars America wants.

The Camry is America's number one selling car. Toyota sales were up 12% in the U.S. in February. Prius sales were up 86%. Toyota is committed to letting American make the cars that America wants.

But what caused me to think one particular Detroit-born congressman had just stepped into a dumb puddle before he spoke were his not so insightful comments "you did not consider buying a foreign car. Now I think the attitude of America has changed."

He THINKS the attitudes have changed. He doesn't KNOW??? And he wonders why the Big Three are having trouble….

Go figure.
