Hillary when you get to Flint, take a good look around at the poster city for NAFTA

23. LEMON LAWS were all the rage for a reason...and the lemons, sadly, were coming out of Detroit.

In the seventies, the American auto industry was producing a lot of clunkers that were screwed up pieces of crap--that's why a federal lemon law was passed, and states started passing lemon laws as well because there were just too many issues with vehicles that were pretty reprehensible.

There were problems in the auto industry for a period of time, and a lot of those problems had to do with very poor quality control. The Japanese did a better job of it.


I had a relative who bought a brand new Ford, and the fucking WHEEL came off a week after the purchase. And the dealer got all defensive about it! Started WHINING! It took a legal threat to get them to take responsibility.

My relative, who ALWAYS "bought American," went to European cars and, to this day, has never looked back. Well BEFORE NAFTA, too, might I note.
