Dodge, Ford, GM, farm tractors etc started to fail because of cheap quality and then you people started getting smart and saw what superb workmanship the Japaneses have been making for years and started buying them.
I've always owned Dodge and Ford, still do for my company trucks but when the Europeans start sending over a tough truck I'm buying a few.
Let's face it USA you people got greedy and now your economy is in the dumps and there's no turning back now and you need others to take over the messes that you've made.

To be correct, a few at the top got greedy and the American working class got the shaft.

When I retired in 2006 my boss was told if he replaced me, it had to be with someone not from the USA. I was making 100k+, and they wanted someone for 20k that knew the tech side but understood nothing about the business side of the bank networks that I designed and coordinated the installation of.

The greed is at the top, but some will try to make you think it is with the workers.

This is a RV forum and these RV's were all purchased with decent family supporting wages.

Good luck to the next generation.

Couldn't agree more Chris. Comparing my parent's generation to mine is scary enough; I was one of 7 children with a stay-at-home Mom and a blue-collar Dad yet we had RVs, boats, we ate out, we had big Christmases, etc.

Fast-forward to today, my girlfriend and I both work full-time, we have 2 young kids, and we struggle just to keep up with life's bills and are currently saving and sacrifing other luxuries for an RV fund.
