It is people who refuse to buy from American companies that have made the mess this country is in. My brother talked me into buying an foreign made 3/4 drive socket set. The sockets open up like beer cans, all junk. I bought an SK set and have had no problems. When I go to the store now and see it is made in China I will not buy it unless I can't find it made somewhere else. Sometimes it is impossible to find it made elsewhere because American companies have went to China to get the cheap labor and the poor quality that China is famous for.
The Japanese came up with catchy phrases like U.S. autos are made by lazy Americans, that boosted Japanese sales. When the Japanese made money after selling that junk in the U.S. they built plants is the U.S. and came up with the phrase that their products were better and had better quality. One of there favorite phrases now is American autos are all built in old plants, the U.S. companies need to build new plants to get good quality. I haven't seen Toyota bragging about better gas mileage in their new Tundra truck, their mileage is worse. They copied the U.S. truck and made some changes which they say are an improvement and the American people believe them. Ford has better quality today than the Japanese but the American people are so in love with the Japanese for what they did back in 1941 there is no changing their buying habits. The junk yards are full of the high quality Japanese cars, the motorcycle junk yards are over flowing with high quality Japanese motorcycles. The Japanese made the disposable auto and motorcycle. I see them broke down along the road and being towed now more than U.S. autos. It is the people without a conscience that are buying the Japanese autos and trucks, I refuse to buy anything that I don't have to from someone that killed 2500 sleeping sailors.
The unions in this country are what gave the American people a living wage and a pension. I don't know of any government employee that don't have health care and a pension. That's state, county and city workers also. Even school teachers and the janitors at the schools. For some reason auto workers are not entitled to one. I have seen posts on this site where people will not work in a factory on an assembly line because of the type of work and the speed of the work. It sounds like those that do work in factories are not entitled to a decent wage and a pension, especially auto workers.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
