You seem to be deeply concerned about the unemployment problem in the US.

Thanks for your prayers but if you really want to do something constructive, exercise your freedom of choice next time you buy a car. Consider yourself the "employer" and hire a kid in America to build it for you instead of that kid in Japan who built your Prius.

We ALL are responsible for unemployment. YES, I KNOW ... this is America and it's your right and your own business. You can do what you want and rationalize it any way you want. You can even spend all day on the internet if you choose, wringing your hands along with like-minded folks and preaching doom and gloom.

Or you can choose to do something meaningful.

NO thanks I have bought American trucks and cars. My Toyota is made here in the states. When the US can make a car as good as the pruis I might try it again. Until than I will get my 53 mpg.
Everyone should be concerned about unemployment especially with the passage of obamacare you may have a good job today and be working part time tomorrow or out of work. Ask some of those that are in that situation now, they NEVER thought they would be standing in an unemployment line.

I hope you are saving jobs and dont buy from walmart since 70 % of their products come from china.

I hope obama has grown up the last 4 years instead of the kid that doesn't play well with others ....but I dont see any miracles.

This is the only attitude that will work. Does anyone realize that automobiles or ball caps CAN be made in the USA? Its only because we are not willing to accept the working conditions, environmental disasters and extreme poverty of China and others, that our business executives move their manufacturing overseas. Its not the government that sent them there, it was their bottom lines.

Its interesting to me that two days ago, the ultra cons here were calling the unemployed folks the enemy and scumbags. Today they might be you or your neighbor and it will be the President's fault.

I own a Toyota truck. Why? Because it were made here in this country. I supported American workers, not a company who is American only in name, but not deed.

No ducks come, in fact they shy away, but the kazoos play on!!

OVER and OVER!!!:cool:

Maybe if they would practice with their duck kazoos to sound like a duck they would come and not shy away. Play the right song and they will come to you with reckless abandon.

I think some people see Toyota being made in the USA not Japan. the problem with that is that the profits go to Japan, not contribute to the USA GDP. On the other hand, the big 3 money stays here in the US. Could be wrong.
