BTW, I never suggested you spend your money on anything other than you want to. It's your money to spend and waste as you choose.

But it won't fix the problem. It may even prolong it. But hey, have at it. Just don't look down on people who understand the REAL problem and how to fix it.

There is not a ford for that price, the fords, dodges, jeeps, chevies are competatively priced.

But you should ask for one. I thought you cared about American jobs?

I do not look down on you, and I agree that the taxes and regulations are too burdensome. But in the mean time I will continue to patronize US made goods. I do believe that we need a stromg manufactoring base and a strong middle class in this country.

Just stay away from anything that says union made. The unions did serve an important function but now are nothing more than a huge democrat coffer and communist/socialist organizations - of course giving large chunks as well to the mafia.

I never said I bought union, I do not. With the exception of my jeep. I needed a good 4X4 to go hubting, sorry. I just prefer to support business that show loyalty to the US. If any still do?

That would be nice, It would be better if you did something about it. The answer isn't faux patriotic nonsense.

You identify the problem and address it, not go around it and feel good about yourself. That's liberal nonsense.

I am doing something about it. I vote for canidates who will lower taxes and regulatios. I also spend my money on goods made in the US.

Name some.

I voted for BUsh thinking he would.

Based on anecdotal evidence, many products manufactured or assembled in Mexico are so badly put together that they must be thoroughly re-worked in the U.S. before they can be sent to retailer's shelves.

Two companies that I have heard about (or worked for) pulled their facilities out of Mexico after two-year efforts to get the Mexican facility to produce quality products. There just didn't seem to be any interest in or desire on the part of the Mexicans to change their processes.

He didn't. People like him are a big part of the problem. Next time you will know better.

I sadly agree on both counts.
