Peter K,
You are absolutely right. I can find no fault in what you say. I still buy North American goods when I can.

Sorry for the thread creep. ..... And NO, GM should not get a bail out. It's welfare for the wealthy...... and we saw how well it worked out for the airlines after 9/11. We offered our money, they took it and feathered their beds and now are ready to have us bail them out again. Up theirs!
