To me, there are very distinctly different kinds of “Made in America” products.

For example, a “Made in America” GM car or truck might as well be from Mars - I will NEVER buy one. Other examples? I make a conscious effort to investigate any product I buy online to determine where it comes from and who makes it. There are multiple companies from whom I don’t buy products because of where they do business from.

A product from a company with an American name is likely not made in America any more. Just look around at all the shuttered factories and supplier shops. Don’t believe your lyin’ eyes, numbers don’t lie, do they?

While I understand the reluctance to support GM, America is now facing a crisis.

We have exported a LOT of what used to be American manufacturing.

A lot.

America needs to stop sending American manufacturing overseas. Stop sending American jobs to China and elsewhere.

Bring back jobs to America.

If you work hard enough, you can find a bit of Democrat, China or “gay” in darn near every product or organization.

Yesterday’s Independence Day parade there was a Pearl Harbor Survivor riding in a Honda SUV. Seemed like only a handful of us old guys caught the irony.
