Economic Woes and Bashing

Do we love our country? Will we fight for it? Die for it, or even buy American cars for it? The thing that amazes me is that even though Americans are willing to fight and die for their country, they won’t even buy their own cars to support the American economy. Parents always try to make the best future for their kids, but what they’re really doing is for themselves, that is for the moment. Maybe they’re saving some extra money by buying a Japanese car, but what they’re really doing is giving the Japanese more money to eventually buy the United States, and the children of America’s future. Will that really make a better future for their kids?
