Foreign cars

Define the good money. The CEO that has making poor decisions for years? That isn't stupid enough to keep his money in American banks. Or is it the money being put into plants in Mexico and Canada and paying foreign workers to do that work. Last figure I saw was like 5 years ago. Toyota employed like 600,000 Americans and that didn't count the American suppliers,transporter etc...etc...etc. add to those numbers the other so called foreign manufactures here in America. Is that not considered good money? To me the good money is money in the working man's pocket not some overpaid CEO's pocket.

I agree with Hemitheus on principle, but Joe, you have the practical down. Where as our home team is shipping more work over the borders, the foreign guys are bringing work here. It is indeed true that no answers are easy, nor are things as cut and dry. Importers want their product to do well here because this is where the profits are. The truth is that they are supporting our economy as much as anybody. Ask the dock worker in San Pedro to the line assembler in Marysville. It's money in their pocket to go to the local economy and spend as they see fit.

There does need to be a change, the work and the money need to come from here and stay here to strengthen our economy. All out revolution is not the answer. Complacency and indifference is not a solution either. I believe that we should be more aware of where and how we spend. More importantly we should be more involved in how our Government works. Exercise your rights. VOTE. This is America. This is how we affect change in our policy.
