I don't think I'm alone in this mentality. Hopefully we all will start spending again, but just not as crazily as we used to spend.
And I'm not sure about that Foreign Company thing. I'm an American, I own stock in Toyota. I'm an American, and when I went to buy a new truck a few weeks ago, Toyota was the most American made truck I could buy. Go figure John, a Foreign Company makes the most American made truck I could find.....That company employees Americans. I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

Not to get political on this thread but what was all the MSM (except FOX) saying about the economy? Thats right they were saying the economy was terrible, even though all the metrics were saying something different. Listen when unemployment was at 4.9% the MSM was saying that the economy is in the crapper, now I know people have short term memories but when the unemployment was at 4.9% and almost everyone was saying the economy is in the crapper then at 9.4%, simple common sense tells people that the economy surely is not better then before.




As for the "Foreign Company thing", I have explained this before many times. First and fore most it is a foreign company so all the profits go to that company and back to the country where they are from. There is little to no profit in production.

Why would you think it bad that people are buying cars now as opposed to later. Think about all the people in the car chain of employment. It is giving them all a badly needed boost at their lowest moment.
You mean you dont like the govt giving out money except to all those industries YOU like. Sorry also to drag the political here but John originally said about this subject in the political section that he didnt like the program because the govt didnt have the money.
