American?

That must mean you have a Honda made in Marysville, OH. Because more than 50% of the stuff in Ford and GM is made or assembled in Canada and Mexico. For good reason, that's how they keep cost down for lamers that think boarders and brand mean anything in a global economy. Let's not even go into the Damieler-Chrysler can of worms.

If Washington really wants to encourage buy American, all they would have to do is put a tarrif on the goods equal to the difference between the minimum wage paid in he country of origin and here. That differential times the per hour manufacturing time will even the field. Transportation costs will take care of anything else.
