The guy is right. We're becoming a nation of brokers, not doers. Interesting commentary on the automobile industry, in which the US was undisputed leader. Toyota and Honda have been first with hybrid vehicles. Both Toyota and Honda have been top selling cars in the US. When I bought my Saturn I asked the salesman why Saturn wasn't simply another Chevrolet model. He told me flat out that that GM decided it was the only way they could build cars to compete with the Japanese. They had to start from a clean slate.
