Good to see trend of ‘Buy American’
The Gazette Opinion Staff

In the last few years, we have had several foreign automobiles sold in the USA. I have always driven “American” cars, fully realizing that many were built in foreign countries or their parts were manufactured in other countries.
I am gratified to see many cars on our streets with nameplates such as Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, Buick, GMC, etc. There seems to be a proliferation of such of late.
Well, that all sounds good to me and, hopefully, indicates a trend that Americans are leaning toward “Buy American” or, at least, “Assembled in America.” I think that there is a trend for more jobs to be available here because of “Buy American” attitudes.
