@Kasz216, when you say buy American, do you mean buy a vehicle manufactured in America or buy a vehicle from an American manufacturer? |
Every way. Last year Ford was rated the best manufacturer in terms of overall quality for cars by JD Power. As for what I mean. I just mean American Manufactuer. Those companies are bleeding and they support a lot of American Jobs, that once they are gone aren't going to be coming back. The American manufacturers provide a lot of good Canadain jobs too as some plants are moving up north to provide thm everything except for the healtcare stuff. The 20 dollar+ starting, full healthcare, major dentist, massive retirment benfits with no college education jobs. With the healtcare and dental covering full spousal and children benefits. It's basically the difference between being middle class or poor for a lot of people. Hell, it can even be "rich" if your lucky every once in a while. If there is a lot of overtime and you work it you can bust into 6 figures on the year. |
Japanese manufacturers provide a lot of jobs to Canadians and Americans too, as a lot of assembly plants have been set up in the two countries. You could even argue that by purchasing a Honda Accord instead of a Ford Fusion, you are supporting more American jobs, as the Accord assembly plant is located in Ohio, where as the Fusion assembly plant is in Mexico. |
Model can matter sure, but last time i checked the American companies had the stronger unions and better pay. Overall company strength is good for everywhere.
I'm stuck buying one brand anyway due to having family ties in a specific company. Even worked at a company once inpart as "layoff protection."
