Buy a "foreign car" put an American out of work

It was the same as "Buy a better mousetrap." Why couldn't we make the
best cars in the world???

When you are buying an American car, you are paying 80% for the union and
20% for the car.

To compete, the American car companies need to cut back someplace. Since the
union has the pay scale locked down the only other place to cheap out is the
quality of the cars.
