Just saying. Buy American

I don't disagree with you that "America" [United States] needs jobs, but what exactly do you mean by "buy American?"

Is a Toyota Camry built in Tennessee or Indiana, where the companies hire and pay American employees, and pay taxes--is that "buying American?"

Or, would you recommend buying a Ford or Chevy, built by foreign employees, using parts manufactured in Mexico, but carries an American logo--is that considered "buying American?"

I know what your point is--you want us to buy products made in America, built by Americans. The truth is, sometimes this is impossible. And even products that "look" American; i.e., carry an American logo, are not necessarily as "American" as you think they are.
