One of those responsibilities is to make a concerted effort to buy American products that suit your needs and desires. Don&#8217;t buy on price alone. I know what you are thinking.  I have thought the same thing before. You are thinking, &#8220;But Lloyd, if the American companies put out a good product at an affordable price and the quality is excellent, then of course I would buy them.&#8221;  Exactly!  I am specifically talking about automobiles in this blog, but my philosophy extends to all consumer goods.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, etc., when was the last time you seriously took a look at GM, Ford or Chrysler?  The quality is there right under our noses. And as far as gas mileage is concerned, make sure to take a closer look. Most are only 2 or 3 mpg different than the Asian market.  Most MPG ratings are relative to the testing environment in which they were measured anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Getting back to the story at hand&#8230;I ran across an amazing<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fordboldmoves.com\/\">, informative website that Ford put together<\/a> about their ups and downs. Stop! I know what you are thinking!  How can a corporate website be informative or honest and candid? You will be surprised. <\/p>\n<p>Take a look at episode 1&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fordboldmoves.com\/episode.aspx?episode=1&#038;id=9e0cf66c-ed43-46ae-b923-623692323d27\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am not an economist.  I am not an expert in any automotive field.  I do software application implementations in my full-time career.  I am not paid for what I write in my blog.  I would eventually like to drum up a little monetary compensation from this blog in the near future but that is a subject for another post ;-).  I do this because I feel passionate about keeping the American automobile heritage alive and well in the good &#8216;ol USA!<\/p>\n<p>Get off the couch and quit reading, listening, and viewing all the foreign auto propaganda.  Go out, breath some fresh air and test drive a Ford, a Chevy, a Dodge, or any of the other American brands that brings a sense of nostalgia to you from your past childhood experiences.  There is a new American Revolution happening right under your noses.  Go out and be a part of it!<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd, signing out&#8230;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Lloyd Frazier<br \/>\nLloyd&#8217;s Auto Appearance<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Lloyd Frazier If you have been an avid reader of this blog, you will come to realize that we as Americans have a responsibility to take an active part in our economy.
