How About a Rant About Ford, the Least American Truck

Ford recently announced their tribute truck for the Dallas Cowboys but Ford might have left out of the announcement how much of their vehicle production is moving to Mexico.  (Reuters:  Ford Moving All Small-Car Production to Mexico From U.S.: CEO)

When you buy that Ford tribute truck for the Dallas Cowboys, go ahead and pay twenty grand more than an F-150 is worth and do be sure to look for that glory text, HECHO EN MEXICO.

Auto workers said, "No worries as we will still be making the larger vehicles in US."


The United Auto Workers also had this to say:

However, UAW President Dennis Williams has said there is a risk that if gasoline prices rise again above $4 per gallon as they were in mid-2008, consumers may favor smaller cars again.

Yah, you'll be making pickup trucks and SUVs until it's economically viable to dump your American ass in the corporate toilet again.  Those huge SUVs are the worst gas-guzzling monsters on the road so fuel costs don't have to rise that much to bury them.  Most of them are probably on long-term automobile loans as well.  In other words, UAW, you're hanging by a thread.

Ford Motor Co Chief Executive Officer Mark Fields has responded to criticsm that 'as a global company, Ford must compete by making solid business decisions.'

In the Reagan world, a Solid Business Decision is anything which destroys a union and the lives of American workers and the morality of that is irrelevant in the New World.  Then they often branch off into talking about praise Jesus and family values.  For those reasons, people rarely listen to Reagan Republicans (e.g. includes Clintons who supported Reaganomics with NAFTA).  Instead we look for ways to protect ourselves and America from what they do.

Until that family can get a job, mister, you sit on down if you want to be preaching about family values.  We don't have any reason to believe you and the kids in those families sure as hell don't.
