Hey thanks for that, at least Kerry said he would stop tax breaks for companies sending jobs overseas, maybe the CEO's see Bush as a lameduck, so now they're making an exodus to cheap labor.

What does Made in America mean? GWB thinks it means we are overpaid. His actions speak volumes on that topic.

I've seen this brought up before, Toyota and Honda have American built cars, yet this took an act of congress and years of sanctions on behalf of the almighty US dollar, funny thing is, once they started building Japanese cars in the US, the Yen took a dive.

The ratio is out of proportion, I'll google Gargoylle.
