In Saint Louis we have a Dave Sinclair who has been selling cars since moses **** his diaper. Dave owns a lot of car lots. Well he came on TV the other day and started advertising Chevrolets even though he doesn't sell them. Dave made an impassioned plea for Americans to buy American and how now a days he can't find a TV or a toaster made here. Dave said, "buy Chevy if you must but buy American". Dave has to know how many or how much of the auto labor is gone to foriegn worker.I don't know if Dave Sinclair is naive ot what but we have been sold down the river. Of course the greedy consumer did it too. The corporate types though sold our jobs, I'm not talking just cars, for cheap slave labor in other countries. Soon we will be in another depression. A hard working man can't get a job anymore. Government jobs are the biggest employer now. Since the country is in debt to the tune of about 8 trillion dollars when all spending is put on the table and not hidden like social security, what happens to all the people who are working for the government? What about all the private companies with government contracts? Just so the top few percent can keep seeing their stocks rise is all that matters.Either export our jobs for cheap labor or import cheap labor via legal immigration that is far to liberal and of course a wink and a nod to illegal immigration. This country I'm afraid is headed for some serious problems.

I believe that South America would qualify as "American" as well. At least according to the Smithsonian America Indian Museum. So the following should be added to the list of "American" countries......

Argentina
Bolivia
Brazil
Chile
Colombia
Ecuador
French Guiana
Guyana
Paraguay
Peru
Suriname
Uruguay
Venezuela

 

So, when you/we see "Made in America" it could simply mean any of these places.
Sorta takes all the meaning out of the slogan, how about a new slogan(?)
"Made on Earth"... (just in case there`s someone from another planet/galaxie looking for a good product.)

 

Someone already thought of this and there is a thread on it: Made On Earth

 

Rush Limbaugh also did an HHR commercial on his radio show. So now the largest and second largest radio audience in the nation hears radio advertisements about the HHR on a daily basis. Talk about great exposure! Again I know some here may not like Limbaugh or Hannity and that's fine (don't want this to turn political), but you have to admit it's a great thing for the HHR.

 

I don't think it's that great. Talk radio is definitely not the way to target younger buyers.

 

Right Wing Conservatives and HHR, next thing you know they'll come standard with a gun rack!

 

I'd like a console my pistol would fit in !
