Default Re: Buy American

Any one who thinks BODY,.aolmailheader {font-size:10pt; color:black; font-family:Arial;} a.aolmailheader:link {color:blue; text-decoration:underline; font-weight:normal;} a.aolmailheader:visited {color:magenta; text-decoration:underline; font-weight:normal;} a.aolmailheader:active {color:blue; text-decoration:underline; font-weight:normal;} a.aolmailheader:hover {color:blue; text-decoration:underline; font-weight:normal;} corporate greed, unions, government intrusion into the private sector, and people turning their back on community and family is "the problem" is over simplifying. It's a bit more complicated.
However, it would be instructive to know what each of us should be doing to help besides just complaining.

For my part I just don't know. Seems like starting by not buying a foreign made car seems like a place to start. But what is "foreign"?

I remember when I started my career hearing guys 10yrs younger than me at work commenting on Cadillacs as arrogant statement of greed and godliness. (probably true) Now I see my own son's think the same of BMWs and the like. They like a whole different more functional and practical type of car. Tastes keep changing. Perceptions of what is "cool" to have are molded by adds etc. Personally I would not own a german car. I just think most are ugly. They are reliable enough but I don't like the statement they make if I were seen in one.

The nation is in decline and I for one am pissed. But I'll tell you one thing I won't do and that is blame either Republicans or Democrats. It's all of our faults.
