Don't buy foreign cars.

My father & his 8 brothers would all roll over in their graves if I did.

And "if" more Americans felt as I do, America wouldn't have to borrow money from CHICOMS to stay afloat.

Sooner or later, Americans are going to have to realize that without the return of the American manufacturing base, this country will NEVER return to her former greatness & glory.

And try supplying the ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE & MARINE CORPS with armament NOT MADE IN USA...

“The general purpose sidearm for the US military is the M9 pistol. This 9mm handgun is made by Beretta and is identical to the Beretta 92F available at fine gun stores across the US.” Baretta is an Italian company, if I am not mistaken.

Your logic would be sound IF America COULD return to manufacturing.

Unions prevent America from EVER returning to manufacturing. The only way to break the union stranglehold is to STOP BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS. Unemployed workers cannot unionize.

Sometimes it takes painful measures to fix what is horribly wrong.

I believe absolutely in buying American but the playing field needs to be level....

if bankruptcy and loss of pension and medical benefits was good enough for my husbands work, its good enough for all those GM workers.....at least some of them.....

we're not supposed to be playing "favorites" in this country but we are....the favored get the govt backing and the rest of us are allowed to flounder.
