Made in America
Listening to Donald Trump talk about the Japanese dumping cars, China's monetary policies, Ford spending billions in Mexico has been interesting. Compare his comments with corporate MSM and you must wonder why the loss of well paying jobs confuses the talking heads. Open your eyes too to outsourcing.
Then you hear infrastructure work will create jobs, yep agreed. But which infrastructure? The inner cities need schools, parks, housing, and street work. Imagine what a kick in the pants for the local economy that would provide? Can you spell jobs.
America's extravagant tax policies only help the top and guess what folks, the top is doing fine, more than fine. We are now a country blind to itself, lost over fear of terrorism, immigrants, and black helicopters coming for your guns. It would be comedy if it weren't true.
"For example, the index gives an American-made car no credit in the profit margin category if the carmaker is based overseas. With Ford Motor Company and General Motors, DuBois argues, the majority of the company's shareholders are in the U.S., "and the profits go to the central coffers and are paid out" to mostly U.S. shareholders. With a foreign carmaker such as Honda, KIA or Porsche, the profits primarily go back to shareholders in their home countries, he says."

'America's Biggest Companies Continue To Move Factories Offshore And Eliminate Thousands of American Jobs'
And way down here is the solution, pay attention, support politicians who support America in more that just rhetoric. Buy American and let the corporations and media know you're on to them. Power is in numbers. Donald Trump won't be our next president, but I'm glad he brought up a bit of the reality of economics today.
Buy American and Thumbs up!
