What's more beneficial for Americas economy? Buying an American car that's built in Mexico or Canada with the money going to an American firm. Or buying a foreign car that's made in the states with money going to American workers.



Just wondering what your thoughts are.

IMO the workers. We have enough corporate money... need a better middle class. That is totally my opinion and not based on facts that I care to dig up because there will be spin I'm sure.

Interesting question. I'd say a foreign car built at home, because the recipient factory gets to steal industrial secrets

Foreign car built here because it's still American labor regardless of how you look at it, which increases our economy.
