In 40 years of driving I've never owned a foreign car.
-When discussing economics with my liberal friends, they always get into supporting workers, etc. All I ever have to say is, "hmmmm, that sounds good; by the way, what kind of car do you drive?"

-There is very little good about foreign car plants in the US. Yes, they provide jobs (jobs that US car companies use to provide); yes they solidify foreign relations (and solidify our short end of the trade deficit). These companies use us like a third world country for cheap labor. But what's worse, the profit goes back to their countries to be invested in their schools, infrastructure, and social improvements. Worse, we are not developing innovations in those manufacturing areas; they are. Even worse, we are not developing a management class, they are. We are developing a cheap labor work force, or a high-wage welfare force.
