With the U.S. economy in a downward spin, when are you going to start to buy U.S. products?

I'll buy US made when they can make a product that is worth buying.

I own a textile manufacturing firm that thank goodness doesnt have to compete with the offshore, at least where finished product is concerned. I make a more expensive product than my competitors, but the product life more than makes up the price difference. You dont have that situation with US manufactured products as a whole, and in many cases, automobiles included.

Give the American consumer a quality product, and quit having the unions try to run the company, and MAYBE the American manufacturing segment can get back to the glory days it once had. Think about it.... when it comes to innovation, there are no equals to us. ... when it comes to QUALITY mass production at a reasonable price... they take out lunch.

Until we can reverse that paradigm through something else other than isolationism, we are doomed to become a consumer economy, not a premier manufacturing one we once were...

How the heck would buying GM or Ford provide more jobs then buying Toyota or Honda?! Either way, they're all TNC's so it would have no effect on office work or hub bases or even design floors, and the majority of factories aren't anywhere near the USA, they're in Brazil and other LEDC's. That's basis GCSE level Geography.

And I'll help the damn US economy if I ever become a US citizen, which is so unlikely due to the closed door immigration policy and resistance to offer students help with their fees like they do here. So frankly, I'll buy whatever damn car I want, the UK economy is holding up pretty well thank-you-very-much.

Hell I am already buy the most damn expensive american made thing, a house! It takes 110% of my wages for the next 30 years wtf else am I supposed to buy?
