24. GM has no loyalty to American workers
Their business plan is what has sunk domestic sales not their cost of production. Their business plan for decades has included(s) huge amounts of revenue off of parts sales on parts intentionally designed to fail or not redesigned when failure was determined. The total quality issue has nothing to do with American workers, it has everything to do with parts engineering. Even when their market share was being encroached upon by Honda and Toyota they refused to change their market strategy. Now they are beginning to improve quality and exporting the jobs to keep their pocketbooks fat. If you have a beef it is with domestic corporate repugs not us peons who can't afford to buy cars and fix them constantly just to feed Detroit suits and blue collar workers who have higher incomes than the consumers you want to blame.

I will buy cars made in the US before I will buy cars made in third world economies regardless of the name plate. These cars being built in Mexico are not domestic cars..name plates are meaningless.
