Why Are Japanese Cars Better Than American Cars?
It is a catch 22 isn't it. Spend more on one thing than the other and the thing you spend the money on, has the funds to improve. The thing you do not spend money on does not have the funds to improve. Try buying American and start reversing the trend.
