This program puts money in the hands of anyone who works for the auto industry here in America *regardless* of the auto makers country of origin. So now those dealers, service dept workers, truckers, distributors, parts dealers etc.etc. can go spend that cash to further stimulate the economy. - as opposed to getting laid off because no one is buying.
