Obama didn't change the welfare law signed by Bill Clinton effectively gutting the work requirement. Even Democrats admit it. The people why wrote it say so.

The entire world agrees he did, but you.

I got lots more, but it's not worth it with you. All I'll get is semantics and obfuscation to avoid saying the truth from you.

So Obama DIDN'T change the welfare law signed by Bill Clinton? But the entire world agrees that he DID? Except me of course?

WTF are you even talking about?

That bottle in your medicine cabinet? Yeah...those. Take 'em...regularly.

I for one am happy about Ford's decision. This is an example of a success in spite of poor DC leadership on both sides of the aisle.
As for the argument about the quality of American made cars in the 70's and 80's. Everyone has an opinion.
When I was first hired by the company I work for they gave a class about quality. WE produce only premium products and charge a premium price.
They gave a class about an American car company that decided to buy Carbs from a Japanese auto company for their 4 cal. engines. The Japanese company was given the specs. They were allowed a 12% off quality rate. The japanese shipped the carbs in 2 shipments. 88% in one and 12% in the other. The US company allegedly had never seen such quality control.
The old wisdom of never buy a car made on Monday or friday comes to mind.
My friend bought a brand new Jeep wrangler back in 1993. Under the carpet was loose unused pop rivets painted over.
I like Toyota trucks. I have been a toyota guy since 1994 when I traded in my ford Ranger on one. The fit and finish, paint job and reliability blew the ranger of the road.
The japanese cars allegedly had issues with rusting out. Not any that I ever owned, but then I actually wash my vehicles more than twice a year.
I have seen great running American vehicles especially full sized trucks.

You asked for an example. Then you play games when confronted with an example.

Right on cue......thanks for the confirmation.

Not sure what is going on in this thread any more... but my mother drives a Fusion. Big ole "MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO" under the hood. I'll take Detroit over Mexico personally. Pretty reliable cars though regardless.

Quality improved when the auto makers went to right to work states because there was accountability.

There is no accountability with unions.
What are you talking about?
The Auto Industry is sill around....

Your answer perfectly illustrates that conservatives don't give a damn about any majority black city.

Thanks.
Think you just have a strange race obsession...

because race is at the center or close to it, in many of the political issues confronting America!

ask yourself why the south went from solidly blue to crimson red after the beginning of the Civil Rights movement and Nixon's 'southern strategy'.
