Well... Thats keeping it real, if you are living in Ohio!
Older items were built much better in first place, no matter where they came from. It is just a different world today. Would you want a new General Electric washer?
Today so many parts come from all over the world, and the parts may be assembled most anywhere to make most any item. I do not like all items being imported from China, because most are of substandard quality.
Now they are talking about taking a second look at N.A.F.T.A. Well.... that fine, however that agreement only covered North America anyway. The global trade is here to stay. How things are changed for the future will determine who is the next "superpower" of nations. If I purchase Cadillac instead of a Lexus, it still will not make much of a difference in jobs here in the US. (btw, I own a cadillac) Many of the parts that make up my Caddy were not even made in the US.
Nice Filter-Flo and great repair job! May it give you many more decades of trouble free service.

American Made
Im not sure If id buy a GE washer or not but I'd definatley look in to a whirlpool! Unfortunatley American manufacturers have been FORCED into outsourcing Due to the Large amount of "cheaper" imported products A shame really.. I dont know what the long term fix is? Glad you drive a Caddy. Because at least I know some Fat Cat at General Motors is getting Rich! I have friends who say "Foreign products made american products better" Im sorry I dont buy it! Products made today are Throw away items Not made to be repaired just replaced! And I blame this entirely on Japaneese Made Products or China or Korea.. Nothing against those country or people its just time for people to stop dogging american made products and support their neighbors..Yes Ohio has been hit hard by NAFTA but I do think it can be fixed Its all up to the people!

You can put part of the blame on the American people wanting their products to be inexpensive. They want to buy things that don't cost much, until it comes to their job. Then they want to make as much money, and benefits, as they can.
You can't have it both ways.

Totaly respect your opinion Timinator, and I absolutely love your Filter-Flo!, but there's a reason Honda's are known for not breaking down. It's not something that happens overnight. The Japanese simply make better and more reliable products. Not health insurance costs, not manufacturing costs, not labor costs, not retirment plans, none of that BS, but better products.

RUN RUN RUUUUUUUN!
Ummm Excuse me? Honda's Dont break down? Since when? And whats going to happen when all these people who are working at the Honda plant retire? How will they survive? And Goatfarmer I agree your right you cant have it both ways. Oh and one more thing can somebody please post a picture of a Japaneese washing machine from 1970? Im curious to see one.

So Tim, what was the problem with the slo spin of the GE washer? Belt? Clutch? Both? Please tell! Either way, Im glad you fixed it! American parts on an American quality machine, repaired by American know how!
yes, they break down
But why do you see honda accords and toyota camry's with 200,000+ miles on the road with original trannies, engines, etc. when all my friend's pontiacs(GM) need new heads at 100,000 or a new tranny at 130,000, keep in mind this is just one small example, but I belive very relevant. The answer? R&D! For years, GM has concentrated on stock prices, give the money to the shareholdrs, while Toyota and Honda on average put more money into building better and better parts and products.
On the topic of what happens to the Honda plant people (another generalization). If they truly have it way worse, than I admit, I'm an iggnorant prick for not caring. I just want the best product. I'm a motor sports enthusiast, I'm interested in the best product possible. Subscribe to Car and Driver for god sake, and read about the differences in car performance. That's all I'm interested in, and if that's conceited, so be it.
