I meant to throw this in The Scuppers, but since it could veer towards the political, this might the right forum anyways.  |

No but those companies employee a LOT of Americans. Fairly well too. And they support a lot of related industry.
BMW, Toyota, Honda. Volkswagen is building a giant new plant, they all have big factories here. Even Kia.
Something like 2/3 of "foreign" cars are built in America. Generally not the engineering and not every single part from start to finish but there's an awful lot of people in the South that are employed by foreign car companies.
Whether GM lays off an employee or Toyota lays off an employee the result is the same, it's still an unemployed American.

Larry,,, They still build cars in the U.S. they have quite a few plants around the United States.... They also make some of their suppliers build plants very close to the plants they will supply parts too,,
So they really do create lots of jobs,,, |

Correct, most of the components are Hecho en Mexico thanks NAFTA........................Thousands in Attleboro alone are out of jobs as a result of it and China's Most Favored Nation status being constantly renewed in spite of what we knew about human rights violations...
Believe it or not, what we are experiencing now is a result of the "Clinton Legacy" becoming fully developed. |
