Hold on. I think it's time to look at the big picture. Toyoda, Honda, and BMW have plants here and are doing well. Sure market is down but you don't see the massive layoffs and bankruptcy. Why? You don't have unions making unreasonable demands. Labor, management and the stockholders need to sit down and work things out. Government also needs to keep their noses out of the private sector. I've seen too many times where Uncle Sam's people automatically side with the unions. It's time for reasonable wages or you are correct, none of you will be working here.

Also, I'm tire of every moron here whining about American manufacturing yet how many of you own American made cars? How many wear American made cloths? How many of you have American made computers? How about something simple like your shoes? Everything I own is made in the USA. My car is made by Ford. My Laptop is by General Dynamics. My suits, pants and shirts are made in Chicago. My shoes right in Wisconsin. So how many of you patriotic folks who like to take shots at conservatives can tell me that?-

Ford may be American owned but you're full of crap that it's made in America. Most of the Ford Cars are made overseas. The majority of foreign car companies own manufacturing plants right here in the Good 'ole USA.

You're right about General Dynamics. However are you totally sure your shoes are made in WI? As for your clothes you're kidding right? Most clothes from Wal Mart to designer label are made over seas. So either you're lying or buying custom made to order fit only your feet shoes and clothes. If that's the case here's a clue, majority of Americans cannot afford to buy custom made anything right now.-

First, my Ford is a Lincoln. I do enough bragging here I didn't want to sound like a bigger jerk. So yes it's actually the car has over 85% US components.

My shoes, Allen Edmond's. Cloths, you are correct when it comes to the material. Most of the best wools, silks and synthetics are from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. I've seen the new mills their building and they're great. Clean, modern and very automated. Most have their own power generation and the gen sets are actually built in Wisconsin from a company called Waukesha Engine. The material might be foreign but most of my cloths are custom made. It's a challenge finding cloths that hide my back brace.
As to not affording American made cloths, why is that? Could it be all of you union supporting big mouths actually ship at Wal-Mart and forced the American textiles out of business?

How many people do you know that can even find this many US products. Quick, name 10 manufacturers of shoes that are totally US located! You can't do it. Show me an average small town where US made goods are even available! YOU CAN"T!

Where to start. My shoes are made by a firm called Allen Edmond's. Until recently, they were 100% American made. Due to new clean air standards and leather dying requirements, they now have some production in China or India. I don't know. My shoes, Park Avenues, are made in Port Washington like they have for the last 25 years.

As to your other complaint, why is that the fault of the GOP? GE moved their first automated light bulb plant to Japan in 1947. President Truman was in office and he was a Democrat. Today, I don't think there is one bulb plant left here. Why? Because Americans will buy anything if it's cheap and available. Why do you think Wal-Mart is still growing? If quality or slogans like buy union actually mattered to you, you wouldn't buy the non-union, Chinese junk. The left of our country loves the talk but most never walk the walk.
