It's a global economy - my Tundra is made in Texas.
Unions are heroes of the past - they are the reason we dont work 80 hours a week with no overtime - the reason our kids dont go to work in the mines to help pay the company store grocery bill... they just got outflanked by the new economy who trades jobs for lower prices and outsources work to people who dont have to pay for healthcare. I for one wouldnt mind paying a few more bucks for a blender if I new it helped support an American worker - but Wal Mart doesnt see it that way... and besides nobody in America makes blenders - we only buy them... I just wish Toyota or Nissan or whoever would buy GM / FORD / Crysler with their pocket change and start designing and producing cars that people would buy. That's the only way those union guys in Detroit will ever get back to work. I dont mean to make anybody mad... just my opinion.
