The error of this comment has probably been pointed out AT LEAST 100 times on this site. But any way, here goes attempt 101+:
1) First of all, only TEN PERCENT of the American automotive work force works for FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS. Buying a domestic STILL helps 90% of those people.
2) AMERICAN COMPANIES enrich the AMERICAN economy... EVEN if they outsource. The PROFITS are invested in AMERICA. Buying wealthy Japanese car company officials new yachts DOES NOT help the AMERICAN economy... AT ALL!!
3) Outsourcing by U.S. auto makers has SAVED TENS OF THOUSANDS of U.S. jobs by cutting costs that allows more money for research and development, new designs, more facilities and more workers IN THE U.S. Before making statements based solely on Japanese car company ad hype, DO SOME RESEARCH. I DID.

People seem to think that supporting the big three auto companies is a good idea, even though they now help other communities in Canada and Mexico to thrive, while the city they built up decades ago, Detroit, has literally been left in ruins so they could find cheaper labor elsewhere. Way to go domestics! I guess none of the domestic fans live anywhere near Detroit.
