Not at all. I prefer American cars and I think we should support American business, but the foreign manufacturers manage their business well. Having a good product is not the same as having a good business. The fact is, I like American cars, but I don't like that the Detroit workers are getting paid far more than other automotive workers to produce cars that for a very long time lagged in build quality. I think there are a lot of problems with how the domestic auto businesses are run. Sadly, the law makes it nearly impossible to change those things.
