Ford Cancels Mexican Plant in Favor of Michingan

[MrFedEx]

Chump is nothing but a con man and hypocrite. Is he going to impose tariffs on his ties and shirts?
Donald Trump sought cheap labor overseas for clothing lines - CNNPolitics.com

If it's good for Trump, it's a "winner". If it's bad for Trump, it's a "loser". All about him, all the time. He's pathetic.

okay, now it's Congress that's paying for that ing wall - not Mexico after all. I guess that was just another one of those lighthearted things we say as we skip along the campaign trail. "Sure had 'em fired up though, didn't we?"

Good think Trump won. It gives you 4 years to whine and bitch about him. As if your constant whining and bitching about work isn't enough. I bet you are a total joy to work with. Your entrance can most likely clear an office.

Its also worth reminding that Ford did not take gov't bailout money when both GM and Chrysler held their hands out a few years back. That in itself tells us a lot about them and doing the right thing.

While this is technically true it is my understanding that they did take advantage of low or no interest government loans prior to the downturn.

The right thing to do would be not to have planned to build those cars in Mexico in the first place.

Are you willing to pay extra for a car made completely in the US?

Are you willing to pay extra for a car made completely in the US?

Yes, but that's not the problem. The problem lies with the car manufactures and Wall St not willing to make a little less on a car made completely in the US.

The surcharge would be substantial.

 

[MAKAVELI]

The surcharge would be substantial.

Never seen a surcharge for American made cars.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Never seen a surcharge for American made cars.

That's because there are none that are 100% American made.

 

[It will be fine]

That's because there are none that are 100% American made.

I believe Honda and Toyota actually make the highest percentage of their cars in the US, but don't tell the rednecks that want to buy an "American" car.

Assembled and made are not one in the same.

where does their profit go?

 

[Jkloc420]

simple fact if trump cuts the corporate rate tax from 35 percent to 20 percent companies will relocate here. Mexico is a third world country and if companies have a choice and low taxes, they are coming here. United States is stable compared to these other places. Highest freaking corporate tax right here. Cutting some of the red tape for small businesses, which is the target, not big business.

1. Toyota Camry

2. Honda Accord

3. Toyota Sienna

4. Honda Odyssey

Cars.com's American-Made Index rates vehicles built and bought in the U.S. Factors include the percentage of parts considered domestic under federal regulations, whether the car is assembled in the U.S. and U.S. sales. We disqualify models with a domestic-parts content rating below 75 percent, models built exclusively outside the U.S. or models soon to be discontinued without a U.S.-built successor.

Anyway you slice it these are the top 4 American made cars.

 

[It will be fine]

where does their profit go?

Same place it all goes, the investors.

 

[badpal]

Same place it all goes, the investors.

As well they should. But in the end the UPS driver that delivers to those businesses each day has a job. I really excited by the things Mr Trump has did so far.

Might want to google Ford bailout 2006, bud.
