Re: Barnstormin': Were the Big Three Really That Good?
I think everbody hit on some solid thoughts and ideas, but not to dispute LS1 but there are plenty of products made in the USA, parts ,tools,clothing,we just need to spend a little more to buy that product,support our local and national economy. Buying USA will put and keep our people at work. The next time your doing some tin work on your Hot Rod and need a pair of snips,quit running to Wally World or Norrthrn and buying that China or Taiwan product, go to a place that sells Cooper/Wiss snips made in the USA. I dont work for a certain Mfg,but do sell tools and supplies for many( I sell to Manufactured Housing,Utility Tralier Mfg).
I am not trying to change the thread,but all the little things adds up and affects what we buy,who,how. Cars and homes. Sure bad decisions on some cost us all, we as consumers bought in on what the big 3 was trying to do and achieved, selling us a new car with incentitives,cash back to us ,dealers, low or no interest. Who is it hurting?
The economy is also in trouble because of the inbalance of the trade between us and other countries,not because we trade, it needs to be more equal, hard to be balanced when China does not have value on there dollar or yen.
Maybe we need a list on here, a place to post certain products that are American made, Lets help our economy and put the Big 3 and the rest of America back to work.
I live in Tenn, travel East Tn, all over NC and Southern Va. ,but the guys in Elkhart In are having it rough,no motorhomes getting built, The Mfg Housing guys all over having it rough. Alot of you guys will be in Maxton come April, the track is backyard neighbors to Manis Custom Builders, finally they are working better, Crestline on the other side of 74 hasn't worked 5 days in 9 weeks. Yeah this hurts me ,but I hate to see what it does to the good people I deal with. A friend of mine has a nice 55 Chevy w/ tilt frontend, also was trying to build a 34 Chevy pickup, works at a plant ,when they work,hard to feed the family,much less dabble in our favorite sport.
Buy American, if your buying or building a house, buy a Custom Modular, you have something you do and need help with,if I can help or buy,tell it.
