You subsidize the democrats by having a job yourself via ever-increasing taxes.
Democrats give that tax money to people whose jobs have been lost to foreign workers.
Just saying.
Even smashing a union, still results in more democrats.
What we’re doing now, isn’t working. The GOP needs to become aggressively pro-America once again.
“Free trade” has been a GOP disaster.
“This has been the argument since Ross Perot warned us of the Giant Sucking Sound. What weve seen since then, is that Perot was right. Buy American.”
Unfortunately Perot was looking at the symtom, not the cause. The cause was and is THE UNIONS, THE EPS, OSHA, and our LAWYERS.
Perot, instead, blamed it on Mexico. Mexico was simply filling the void that we abandoned in our quest for Utopia.
Now it’s the Chinese. If anyone thinks that people would be better off today with union-made everything, rather than Chinese imports, they are insane. Maybe other don’t remember, but I certainly remember the cost of just about EVERYTHING before the Chinese started moving in and selling cheaper (roughly 4 times higher than today). The US companies that could fight back (i.e., non-union) gave China some competition, other companies (and unionized workers) got EXACTLY what they deserved, for their attitude.
We disagree.
In fact we seem to have no room for compromise.
I oppose pretty much everything you are saying. No offense, but I disagree and reject the entire premise.
America first.

I agree, we’re hopeless. Let’s get some sleep.
Lol.
FReegards.
Yeah, Duh.

Here's my five simple requirements:
4 doors (well, 5, as a station wagon(van, minivan, SUV etc.) is a necessary part of the body shape(dogs in back with their own entrances))
Red paint
Manual Transmission
Turbo Diesel
4X4 or AWD
********
How difficult can that be?
There’s a fair amount of labor $ associated with an assembly plant. Component’s labor may be equivalent, but I don’t have any personal knowledge.
it’s difficult to swing a car with a part time job at $12 per
“Lol. FReegards.”
Thanks, you too.
Dude, wise beyond your years, you are.
Go Galt or go Virtual Galt.
Yep, go virtual Galt.
Over half of new passenger vehicles sold in Europe are diesel.
Mileage over 30 is commonplace higher too.
Yet no American maker offers us this option.
VW (VW, Audi), BMW, Mercedes offer diesels.
Too big to fail has cost imagination, risk taking, etc.
The stick only came with the turbo coup, which was not a v8. I used to have an 87 tbird, it was a baby blue, wish I still had it. The transmission went out at 190,000 and it just wasn’t worth fixing.
Here’s my simple requirements:
v8
30 MPG
300 HP
Mustang has come very close to this in a V6!
Also, take a trip down memory lane and look @ our older cars..they had style!..Now everything is eco-boxes..We went from cool sounding names like trident v8/440 six pack/ to eco-boost and 1.2 liter turbo... Ask a young kid who is Delorian,Iaccoca,Shelby,or larry Shenoda...I guarantee you.The answer will not be “the creator of the GTO,Mustang,AC cobra or boss 302 Mustang..We need Harley earl back..(Google it if your under 40..LOL)
As for Zero suggesting lately that 50 mpg cars are a panacea for $4 Diesel is to laugh. Zer0 is a lieing l0ser.
That’s what I remember. They also had a ford taurus with a 4 cylinder stickshift around the same time.
The cost of the average car, not even anything special, has gotten way out of control.”
My grandma died in 1967 and left me $20,000. Bought a brand new split level house, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, double car garage, huge yard with a four-line clothes line and a brand new Mustang. No money left but if that were now we could hardly buy just a car.
Corvettes have been close to that for decades now.
