    Because the WTA and Free Trade Agreements have forced our business to go overseas and now we have very little choice. Thanks to the politicians who sold us out!

    Because they don't have the money to buy a high-quality American-made product like the Ford Pinto, truly a marvel of American engineering.

    Besides I complain about the bad economy and I drink Miller (made in America). Maybe those that say the American economy is good should stop drinking that imported beer. I also own a Ford Taurus, but it's a used one, can't afford a new car every month like the employees of companies that get government bailouts or are allowed to put all their liabilities into a separate corporation.

  • I don't complain about it. My economy is fine. I'm even taking advantage and getting some work done on my house while it's dirt cheap from contractors who are desperate for work. I also love all three of my foreign vehicles.

    OH, AND THE ECONOMY IS BAD. I just fight for those who are affected. Soon I will be affected too after hyper-inflation. But it won't be because I didn't buy an American vehicle. That's absurd. If it's a good product and I want or need it, I buy it. The place it comes from makes no difference to me. Maybe complain about the government and their taxes against domestic corporations. And blame the unions. But you can't blame the consumer I'm sorry. That's a stupid BS line.

    And then they complain that GM is "Government Motors" and that they would never buy a car from them thereby shunning American products and workers...weird, huh?

    America First? Yeah, right, pull the other one...

    Maybe cuz the US doesn't manufacture S*** anymore.

    It's called lack of options (for the most part).

    You shouldn't blame people for a system they are forced to follow and have no say in.

    Not just them. Everybody shops at Wal-Mart.
