'Bloomberg reported a $10,000 signing bonus for each UAW member would cost about $470 million at GM, $410 million at Ford and $250 million at Chrysler.'

Okay Ford. I'm looking at getting a new truck. Don't go bailout on me in a few months because of said financial decisions.

Buy a Toyota. Tundra has 80% domestic parts and is made in San Antonio, Texas. Silverados and F-series are 75%. Dakotas are 72%. Ford Ranger 63%. Dodge Ram is 53%.

As you can see, Toyotas contain more domestic parts than so-called "domestics" and aren't involved with UAW. They're made in right-to-work states and not tied to the Obama administration (who noteably attempted to gut them over this so-called sticking accelerator.

Just my opinion, but I consider Toyotas more American than any of the Big 3 in Detroit.
