Secondly, some foreign cars are also made in America. They provide jobs and livelihood for thousands maybe hundreds of thousands of Americans. Yes we do need to start building more in America and keeping more in America. But ask yourself what is the main reason we are loosing mfg jobs. I would say it is largely the result of unions driving up the cost of labor. Leading to people making 30.00 per hour for a 15 dollar per hour job.


Lastly, anyone thinking this is a stimulus bill, should do a little research. This is government spending like you have never seen, and our kids and grand kids will be paying for it.
It would be nice to come to camaro site to get away from all polical debates. 24/7 everywhere! Oh well, guess that would be in a perfect world.
