I’m with Club For Growth. Do we want to go back to the 1950’s, days when GM, Ford and Chrysler built junk that would not last 100,000 miles, and paid their low skilled assembly workers premium wages and benefits which were built into the monopoly price of the vehicle? Global competition has made the modern vehicle an incredibly attractive, safe and reliable machine available to everyone.
I sure do!
I want small furry animals to catch fire every 10 minutes also. s/off
Non-sequitur much?
Well, then can do that in Tennessee just as easy they can do it in Mexico, right?
False choice, but nice try anyway.
“I’m with Club For Growth”
I second that thought. The Club ARE Conservatives. Some on this thread are nativists (aka labor goons)
One of the reason America is so great is FREE TRADE.
This may be one of the Trumpsters first fails with the readers on FR
that junk cost $1500 brand new. Today’s computerized junk is $50K. Yes. I want to go back to the ‘54 blue Buick special, my first car.
Seems the car issues you mentioned are more related to union thuggery and lack of pride in their work by workers—both those issues could be resolved right here in the U.S. Bring companies back home!
On the other hand, I had a 69 Camaro that we souped up. Crashed and rolled it at 112 mph. My friend, driving at the time, rolled over the top of a 440-six-pack Cuda and flipped. My friend climbed out without a scratch, having only a seat belt. They used to make some serious cars.
I'm not sure what you mean. I've put over 150k miles on my '59 Chevy truck myself and I didn't own it until 1982. It had been a daily work truck for a plumber up until then. It's made of heavy gauge steel not plastic too.
If the American worker is so bad, then why are Toyotas built in America as good as ones built elsewhere?
Or are you really saying Mexicans can build cars better than Americans? Your argument doesn’t really make much sense.
More or less, yeah, that's the idea...
Cars built in the 50’s were relatively cheap in that an average guy could do 90% of his own work on the car. Rust was the big issue then for sure, but style wise the 50’s cars blow away the egg shaped neuter-mobiles we drive around in now.
“Do we want to go back to the 1950’s”
God, yes, I do!!!
Naw...It better technology that allow vehicles to be better...The shareholders are giggling all the way to the bank every time a new vehicle is sold...
American produced Japanese autos did cost far less to make than American made due to Union and Management wages and benefits...However, the cost of the vehicles was the same as the American made...
And now, with the union wages and benefits greatly decreased did the cost of the vehicles decrease??? Of course not...They are robbing us more now than they ever were...
So taking jobs away from Americans is good for America, eh???
Nope...I'm sticking with Trump to fight you globalists all in it for the mighty buck...
