You've never seen some ratty little town give WalMart a break on property taxes for a few years so they'll build there instead of in the next town over? The British paid to build DeLorean's factory as a way to bring in jobs. It looks great on paper, but building a car isn't done on paper and you get better results if some of your workers have actually built cars before.
