re:"Right now, you have many ships, some carrying not only about fifty thousand assembled imported cars, but also countless parts needed by assembly plants here in the US."

The traffic goes both ways. If you look at (at least some) Honda Accords assembled in Japan, you'll find over 60% U.S. and Canadian parts (its on the sticker).

re:"Energy companies whine about "indentured slavery" to regulators while dockworkers are smart enough to know the Mercedes Benz they are unloading will be driven by a energy executive"

Does Mercedes Benz really unload at West Coast ports? Or are you just trying to make a point, that wouldn't sound as good if you used Kia or Lexus?

Are you really worried about inflation, now?
