For once I have to agree with you.
The last poster that disagreed with me on NAFTA started crying about how he lost his machinist's job but then went to proclaim that he retired at 46.
Life is just so very unfair to these poor, sniveling liberturdians isn't it?
I don't trust and I don't like the Lying Piece of Shit we have as president. He is a total and complete and utter scumbag and THE worst president in our entire history.
But when we have a chance to do something that's good for The American People, we need to do it. We don't play 'Dog In The Manger' like dimocrap scum and liberturdians do. We do what needs to be done regardless of who gets credit.
If we don't strike a deal with these Countries, some very aggressive competitors will. And they don't like us a whole lot.
Just like if we didn't do a deal with Mexico (NAFTA) Japan, India, Europe and China would have.
They'd be making cars (and lots of other stuff) there and shipping them all over the world and we would just have to suck on it.
At least this way, we get a piece of what goes on down there.
Really want to bring manufacturing back, crush the criminal Unions. Know why the European Car makers didn't go belly-up? Three reasons;
U.
A.
W.
That simple. And Ford survived because they have ALWAYS hated Unions. Which is why I buy nothing but Ford products.
Which reminds me of several conversations I had with Yankees coming down here to retire.....
I'd have to listen to how they made so much more money, how their Unions took such good care of them, how the Unions helped their retirement, their Medical care, yada-yada-yada.....
Okay, says I. \What are you driving?
"Toyota Camry" they says
dimocraps is what they is
liberturdians are just fucking hillbilly stupid
Obviously I'm not as smart as you seem to be, but if I'm not mistaken, the majority of auto makers (Chevy, Dodge, Ford, etc) are being built in Mexico. My Dodge pickup (built in 2006) was built there. My newest Dodge (built 3 months ago) was built in Mexico. Difference? The newest Dodge cost 42 Thousand.
I'm curious as to how a truck - built on 7 dollar an hour wages can still be more than twice the price of a truck (same truck) 9 years earlier?
you can call hard working Americans, who have lost their jobs, or worse yet, are building cars and trucks HERE, instead of Japan, "fucking Hillbilly stupid", but I "apparently" just don't get it.
So, we dissolve unions (UAW) for example. Will the prices of those vehicles suddenly come down? Or will it be, as I guess, the same prices for vehicles, built on slave labor?
If I'm not mistaken, and I'm NOT, we're we not fed the line of crap that the prices would fall (without the unions involvement) and everything would be unicorns and rainbows? Looks as though we were (and are) being fed yet another line of crap......
Final assembly on Ram Trucks is either in Mexico or Michigan.
You can tell by looking at your VIN, if it starts with a '1' it's final assembly point is the USA.
There's also the part about where are the 'value added' parts made?
Like, the engine, transmission, rear end, instruments, etc could be made in the USA or Canada and assembled in Mexico.
or vice versa.
It takes about 30 hours to make a car. Thirty. Period.
That's everything from the lug nuts to the engine to the transmission and the steering wheel.
Thirty.
They don't move these plants out of the Country because of the wages. They just don't do it.
They do it because Unions are criminal organizations and can't be trusted or worked with.
Companies can deal with higher wages, what they can NOT deal with is criminal Unions forcing Companies to keep THOUSANDS of men and women on the payrolls while they sit home and do nothing or come in to work, punch in, hang out for an hour or so in the Cafeteria and get paid for a full day.
Those things are FUCKING FACTS
Also, when you want to build a plant in this Country, you can't do it without sucking every dimocrap dick within 1,000 miles of the fucking place.
You gotta get the Zoning changed and as soon as the dimocrap filth on the County Boards here that you want to build a factory, they run out and start buying up the land so they can sell it for 10 times what they paid for it.
Then the factory has to egt clearance from the County EPA, the State EPA and rthe federal EPA (oh yes they do)
After years of kissing their fucking asses, hippy scum find out and put an Eagle's Nest on the property.
BOOM!!! Everything stops for five fucking years.
Then, as soon as that clears up, they find Bear shit. Another year.
You don't know what the FUCK you're talking about.
You just don't.
Unions and dimocrap scum are running our manufacturing out of this Country.
And liberturdian scum are helping them.
I live in the real world, not in the academic Fake News Fun Time world you live in.
Manufacturers don't WANT to leave the US. They HATE it. They lose control, they don't have the same protections, they have to send Americans to live in those fucked up places (Trust me, I know).
One thing, if you ever get sent to China as a QC guy, don't eat the local chicken.
You people are so fucking stupid, you blame the wrong people every time. Every time.
scumbag dimocraps are the cause of ALL our problems.
Republicans are just sometimes dolts. Well meaning morons at worst
dimocraps are scum
So whats wrong with moving them to Texas like Toyota did?
You dont have to leave the country to avoid unions.
