"About the last thing on his mind was where such a vehicle and each of its component"

You can't expect an individual to sacrifice his own funds to buy American. This needs to be driven by government policy. Our founding fathers had it right when they put import tariffs in place. It worked well for 180 years. We were stupid to remove them.

For most of that time we did not have a constitutionally authorized income tax. Returning to a tariff system without removing the income tax from the Constitution would be an economic nightmare.

A telling admission, and I love the use of the word "sacrifice" in this context.

Would you sacrifice your own funds to buy American, Danny? Or do you require compulsion from Washington, DC?
