I live in the suburbs of Detroit. Most people here are very dependant on the car industry. Accordingly, you see lots of bumper stickers with slogans that work on the Buy American theme, like "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foriegn." But often those stickers are on 20 year old pieces of sh!t. I buy a new GM every year (two cars on two year intervals - hence a new car every year) so I do my part. But, if you only buy a new car every twenty years, you're not really going to make or break GM or save anyone their job. Dummy with a bumper sticker.

Sorry for the digression.
They were not manufacturing DVD recorders and CD recorders 50 years ago ! Stop buying Chinese and the banking system in America will collapse. China sends a billion dollars a day to American , supporting the American deficit.
for your information my wife and I drive a 1996 BMW 850csi , 2003 BMW 545i and a 1999
BMW 540i.

Buy Toyota , BMW , Honda , etc built mostly in the in the south. Michigan is dying because of the high labor cost ! I might also add that Detroit has a high school drop-out rate of 75% ! Do your part buy a Honda and support American workers in the south. The UAW has killed the American auto worker and helped the foreign auto companies with unrealistic salary and benefit demands.
Sorry for the digression.
