Even in "American" made cars, the US content isn't all that great. I know there is a place to check, but damned if I can rememebr where. (gotta google and see)
Now trucks are more American, because we us more of those kind of parts.
This now a global economy, hell even Chrysler is German owned.

On the flip side of that conversation...
I'm buyin' stock in my company through my 401k-type of plan at work. For ever $1.00 I contribute, the company matches it with 75-cents, up to 8 or 10-percent of salary. Was nice when stock was sellin' around $25 or $30 a share. It's climbed into the $80-range lately...
I want it to stay low for a few more years! LOL... Buy a bunch when it's low. Then when I retire, I want it climb into the $80 or more range... 
Actually, I think they're gettin' ready to do a split...

LOL. No, I understand, but I meant if my stock went up 500%, he could keep the 400M in dividends. I suspect there are probably 50M shares of stock, so thats only $8 a share. But if my stock went from $50 to $2500 that would be great!

The reson is simple.....They have it, we want it and they know we will pay for it......GREED its that simple........
Im starting to sound like Weasle now.....Wheres my beer????......LMAO
randy , the ole weasle aint always wrong , did you see how many millions of dollars the ceo of , i think it was exon got for his retirement package on the news the other day ? if i was a stock holder (owner of the co. ) id be pissed i wasnt getting some of that in dividens.
No you wouldn't if you were a stock holder you want them to find another guy just like him, he raised the stock value 500% - him getting 400 million was cheap. probably less that 50 cents per share.
BUT 400 million retirement package is criminal! Period! Shit, now I not only sound like Randy, but Weasle too!

"What do you think about this ?"
...
I am sure the intentions were well, but I'm not buying the idea that schemes like these do anything at all.
The number 1 reason fuel is so expensive is because of the price of crude oil, the price of crude oil is driven by Wall Street.
I'm thinking we should all do less driving, do some walking, ride the bicycle to short destinations, carpool....
I am sure that would help...We just got to get people to do it...We are so wasteful....We also got India and China to worry about....There coming on strong and willing to pay the high price...
