Domestic Content? HELL NO!

The basis for my argument of which group did the best is based more on the process of elimination of groups that did not fully argue their points than on which groups argued their points the best. The first group I eliminated was the Sierra Club. In their defense, there was not much of an argument to be made that went beyond a moral standard. The consumers mostly ignored the other groups and focused on what they wanted, which did not do much to convince the other groups of their position. My group, the United Auto Workers, also had more of a moral argument which could eventually help the economy in the long run, but I don’t think we emphasized that point as well as we could have. That leaves the Foreign Auto Manufacturers and the American Auto Manufacturers.
Out of the two, I thought that the American Auto Manufacturers had the better argument. They were able to emphasize aspects that pleased many of the groups. For example, by getting rid of domestic content laws they were able to please the American citizens by creating more competition and thus driving prices down. It worked in their own best interest because they were able to produce parts more cheaply, and it pleased the Sierra club because they were able to produce more eco-friendly and fuel-efficient cars. Lastly, it pleased the Foreign Auto Manufacturers because it gave them a leg-up on the competition.
The American Auto Manufacturers were able to argue for their point of view without resorting to b.s. like a lot of the other groups did. They had solid research to back up their claims, and their argument made real sense. So, AAUW you’ve got me convinced. Away with those domestic content laws!
