Who's an import fan... I drive a domestic and who ever said ANYTHING about doing away with anything? We have hardly any manufacturing in this country anymore. I wish we'd start getting back to manufacturing so we can be more competitive with the rest of the world. We just need to do it in an honest and upfront way so we can stay viable no matter what the economy is like. This recession SHOULD be a lesson to us all. It remains to be seen if it will be, however!

What about Ford and GM who have done away with 1,000's of jobs by sending their manufacturing plants to Canada and Mexico?? They have sent their OWN manufacturing to foreign countries to save money. I had nothing to do with that. Buying a Honda is actually more beneficial to U.S. workers than buying a Fusion that is built in Mexico.

Go ahead, argue that point... still waiting for someone to "justify" Ford and GM on this point!

I don't know about you, but I am raising my kids for much more greatness than flipping burgers... or working on an assembly line for that matter!! Not that it isn't an honest living, but I haven't heard too many kids say they want to assemble cars as their dream job along with doctor, dentist, astronaut... etc. etc.
