America, from the mind of Jay Leno ...

[VintageMusclecar]

While it is a nice sentiment, Jay Leno didn't pen it.

unemployment figures are based on claims,not those who had their claims run out,and are still un employed,like engineers,computers programmers,etc..

it's a lot worse than 5%.

If we keep buying Jap cars and wally world it will get worse !!!!

Geez, ya gotta like those snopes guys.

[gtomike1966]

Does it really matter who wrote it or if the %'s are dead on?

The problem with what he saying is he is looking at it thru his world, now a days most politicians are greed driven. If you have a failing company you step back and make cuts even if it effects you theese politicians will not they just want to keep taxing us instead of fixing it. I think every body appreciates where we have been the problem is middle America sees where we are going. Jay Leno has no idea in his perfect world.

I'm no expert on Jay, but he was a guy from Massachusetts that worked his ass off ( 300 shows a year ) and did very well because of it. He does not strike me as a Sean Penn type and I think he remembers growing up in a Middle class home. His dad was an Insurance salesman. His world now seems pretty good and so good for him. Thats a great example of the American dream

I'm due for another car, I have an 04 and 02 Chevy but they were made where, in Mexico or CANADA? What is an American car made in America with American parts?

And as far as Wallyworld, it's not close to me but when I did go to one years ago didn't they have "American Made" signs on most of the products? Is it the same crap as the other box stores? Is anything made in America anymore? The mom and pop where I shop sells the same chineese crap!

and another thing , That "Jay Leno" letter is three years old and the Big Chinned Car Guy only gets credit for the last sentence!

I have to agree. My Dodge pickup was built in Mexico and my wife's Honda was built in North Carolina. Which is "more American" .

At least Honda is providing good jobs for Americans.

(steps down off soapbox)

But where are the professional jobs, i.e. designers, engineers, most management, etc. at Honda located and where do the profits go from the plants here?
