Secondly why would you by foreign when we need the work here? These cars are made in Michigan. Everything from the corporation to the designers to the assembly is done in Michigan and feeds AMERICANS.
My two Nissans were made in TN by Americans who didn't need a $60 billion taxpayer bailout to continue in business. I sure wish the buy American concept translated over the the fuel we both put into our American made vehicles. If we drill here, the land owners (unusably American taxpayers get the royalties instead of some Sheik or dictator. The high paying jobs go to Americans and their families, the money they spend on their needs gets recirculated about 5 times through their local economies and it doesn't wreck our balance of payments. (over $700 billion this year on oil alone). There is no excuse for not drilling here. I am all for electric vehicle myself and but in my opinion they are not prime time yet. 40 miles between charges and then an hour charge for each 5 miles traveled (110 V system) and big home rewiring for a 240V charger to bring the charging down to 4 hours. As a taxpayer, I don't like giving the $7,500 federal payment on each one. They still get their power from coal and nuclear. But lets hope soon, they will be for the masses. I heard today that they have sold 1370 since Jan. Subsidies only work short term.
