[QUOTE="donna723, post: 348708, member: 1883"] Is there really any such thing as an "American made" car anymore? Our little town is dying on the vine with an unemployment rate of [U]19.7%[/U] and this is actually an improvement over what it was last year! In more prosperous years we had one big factory where half the town worked - they made parts of the seat assemblies for Ford Motor Company. They had good jobs, good pay, good insurance. And now that big state-of-the-art factory is closed up tight, locks on the gates, and all those people are unemployed. Why? Because Ford Motor Company decided it would be cheaper for them to send all those well-paying jobs to Mexico where labor costs are cheaper! So just because a car is [I]assembled[/I] in the US, doesn't mean that only Americans were employed to manufacture that car! [/QUOTE]
