The automaker announced Thursday that it will spend more than $1 billion to revamp its Warren Truck Assembly Plant, which will start making the Ram heavy-duty truck in 2020. The truck is currently made in Saltillo, Mexico.

The company also said it's giving one-time $2,000 bonuses to 60,000 U.S. workers.

Maybe we should thank the idiot for being 20 trillion in the hole instead of 10 trillion and tripping over illegals all over the place.
